BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) - Gov. Paul LePage has directed that state of Maine and U.S. flags be flown at half-staff in Brunswick for the funeral of a Maine soldier who was killed last month while stationed in South Korea.

Monday's funeral for Capt. David Haas was being held at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Brunswick, followed by a burial with full military honors at the Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Augusta.

The 30-year-old Haas was struck by a city bus in Seoul on the night of July 27 while stationed in South Korea as part of the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade.
