Governor orders flags lowered honoring of victims of Virginia Beach shooting

In accordance with Executive Order 10-12, and in coordination with the proclamation signed by President Donald Trump, Governor Laura Kelly has ordered flags throughout the State of Kansas to be flown at half-staff starting immediately and ending at sunset on Tuesday, June 4, 2019, in honor of the victims in the Virginia Beach shooting.

“Kansas mourns with the families and friends of the victims in Virginia Beach,” Kelly said. “This senseless tragedy reinforces the need for sensible gun safety policies that would protect those who are known to be a danger to themselves and prevent harm to others. We must do more to protect our communities and reduce gun violence.”
