President Biden orders flags to half-staff after Monterey Park shooting
Flags will remain at half-staff "as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence” until Thursday at sundown, Biden’s proclamation said. President Joe Biden issued a proclamation Sunday night ordering American flags on federal government property to be flown at half-staff , to honor the victims after a gunman allegedly shot 20 people, 10 fatally, at a dance studio near a Lunar New Year celebration in the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park. Flags will remain at half-staff "as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence” until Thursday at sundown, Biden’s proclamation said. "While there is still much we don’t know about the motive in this senseless attack, we do know that many families are grieving tonight, or praying that their loved one will recover from their wounds," Biden wrote in a statement earlier Sunday evening.
