Indianapolis – In accordance with a presidential proclamation issued Friday afternoon, Governor Mike Pence directed flags at state facilities statewide be flown at half-staff to honor the victims of the terrorist attack in Nice, France. Flags should be flown at half-staff immediately until sunset on Tuesday, July 19.
Governor Pence also asks businesses and residents to lower their flags to half-staff in accordance with the directive.
The Governor released the following statement after news of the attack broke last night:
“Our hearts go out to the fallen and their families in today’s terrorist attack in France. This attack is a horrific reminder of the threat facing Western civilization. This must end. As we mourn with the people of France, we must resolve to bring to justice all those responsible and defeat this enemy of civilization at its source.”
