Flags At Half-Staff for Texas School Shooting

White House

Flags are flying at half-staff to  honor the victims of a deadly school shooting in Texas.  President Trump  issued a proclamation ordering public buildings and military bases to lower their flags. Ten people were killed and ten others wounded when a  17-year-old gunman opened fire this morning at Santa Fe High School near  Galveston.  In his proclamation, Trump wrote "Our nation grieves with  those affected by the shooting at Santa Fe HIgh School."  Earlier today,  the President condemned the attack, calling it "horrific" and pledging  to take steps to prevent future school shootings.
