Governor Roy Cooper has declared May 5 as a Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women to show support and raise awareness on the disproportionate rate of American Indian and Alaska Native women who have disappeared or lost their lives due to acts of violence.

In accordance to Public Law 107-51, flags are to be lowered annually in recognition of the many firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

The officers were members of a collaborative U.S. Marshals task force of local, state and federal law enforcement officers.

The Honorable John C. Martin served the state as a Superior Court Judge for seven years, as an appellate judge for the North Carolina Court of Appeals for more than 24 years, and spent the last 10 years of his career as Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals.

Today, Governor Roy Cooper proclaimed April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month to spread awareness and help address this pervasive issue impacting the lives of millions Americans each year.
