Governor Walz Orders Flags to Fly at Half-Staff to Honor Victims of Shooting in Lewiston, Maine
In accordance with a proclamation from the White House, Governor Tim Walz today directed all United States and Minnesota flags at state buildings to be flown at half-staff effective immediately until sunset on Monday, October 30, to remember, mourn, and honor the lives lost in the shooting in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday, October 25.
*?Lewiston, Maine is a little smaller than Mankato, Minnesota. I can?t imagine the impact a mass shooting will have on that community,?* said Governor Walz. *?My office has offered Maine any resources they need, and Minnesotans offer our heartfelt condolences as Mainers grapple with our country?s latest violent, senseless tragedy.?*
Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags.

Flags at Half-Staff
"In keeping with appropriate flag etiquette and U.S. Code, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may order the state flag to be flown at half-staff under very limited circumstances. He may also order the national flag to be flown at half-staff on state property only. A state flag on state property is required by law to be flown at half-staff if the national flag is flown at half-staff."
