Kelly announced in a press release that flags throughout the state of Kansas should be lowered to half-staff immediately. The flags will remain in the half-staff position until Sunday, Aug. 31.
Kelly’s order follows the deadly shooting that occurred on Aug. 27 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“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,” 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.”
