Governor Kelly has ordered for flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of the victims of the Minneapolis, Minnesota shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.
On Sunday, August 31st, flags across the state of Kansas are to be lowered to half-staff until sundown.
“Today, I have ordered flags in the State of Kansas fly at half-staff as Kansas mourns the tragedy that took place in Minneapolis where children were killed while praying,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “We grieve with the families who lost children, whose children were injured, and to all who will be impacted by this act of violence. Too many communities across our nation have endured the horrors of children dying in their schools and churches. We have repeatedly failed to protect our children and have talked around the issue of gun violence long enough. Action, long overdue, is needed that will make a difference and save our children’s lives.”
