Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered U.S. and Michigan flags within the State Capitol Complex and upon all public buildings and grounds across the State of Michigan to be lowered to half-staff immediately to honor and remember the victims of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“Michiganders' hearts are with the students, families, and teachers of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota,” said Whitmer. “To honor those we have lost, I am ordering flags to be lowered across Michigan. Let’s also keep those who were injured and in the hospital in our thoughts.
We are grateful to all the first responders and medical professionals for their hard work and steadfast in our belief that every child deserves to learn and grow up without fearing for their life.”
“I am devastated and angered by the tragic shooting in Minneapolis today. A new school year should bring hope and laughter, not death and heartbreak,” said Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II. “My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Minneapolis community as they grieve this horrific loss. We must continue to work toward a future where no child, family, or community has to endure this kind of violence.
On Wednesday, a gunman opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 17 others.
The State of Michigan remembers the victims and stands in solidarity with the community of Minneapolis by lowering flags to half-staff. Michigan residents, businesses, schools, local governments, and other organizations also are encouraged to display the flag at half-staff.
Flags should be returned to full staff at sunset on Sunday, Aug. 31.
