*?Gun violence has no place in our society. Everyone deserves to be safe and free from violence in schools, community gatherings, workplaces, at home, and everywhere in between,? *reads the proclamation issued by Governor Walz.* ?Minnesota joins states across the nation to remember and honor the victims whose lives were lost on January 21, 2023.?*
Minnesota joins the nation in remembering, mourning, and honoring the lives lost in Monterey Park. 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."
