Governor Matt Bevin has ordered American and state flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff beginning immediately until sunset on Feb. 19 to honor the victims and families affected by the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

"Kentucky joins our nation in mourning the innocent lives lost in the senseless violence this week in South Florida," Bevin said. "Our hearts are broken for all of the students, teachers, first responders, medical professionals, and families affected by this despicable act of evil."

Bevin encouraged all individuals, businesses, organizations, and government agencies to join in this tribute by lowering their flags as a show of support.
