Flags flown at half staff by order of Gov. Kemp

FLAGS ON STATE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS ORDERED LOWERED TO HALF STAFF 

On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an incomprehensible act of violence was committed when a very troubled gunman approached the Church of the Annunciation and its affiliated parochial school and opened fire through the stained-glass windows during a school-wide Mass service; and

Two students were killed, and seventeen children and adults were injured; and

The people of Georgia share the grief of the parents, families, and friends of the victims, and we pray for their comfort and healing in the days to come; and

To honor the victims of the Minneapolis shooting, the President of the United States has ordered that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff on federal government buildings and grounds.

That in honor of the victims and in conjunction with the Proclamation of the President of the United States of America, the flag of the United States and the flag of the State of Georgia shall be flown at half-staff on all state buildings and grounds from this date until sunset on Sunday, August 31, 2025.

This 28th day of August 2025.
