Governor Rick Snyder has ordered flags to be lowered to remember the victims of the Las Vegas shootings.
The governor says the tragedy also calls attention to the challenges of ensuring the safety of people at large venues.
“You’ve got football season going on, and you’ve got stadiums. You’ve got other places, and so that’s why we always try to be vigilant, and I appreciate, particularly, our law enforcement people working hard to try to anticipate how to keep us safe during these kinds of events.”
The governor’s order calls for state and national flags to fly at half-staff until sundown on Friday. The order applies to schools and state offices.
