Governor Greg Abbott has ordered that all state government buildings in Texas lower the United States and Texas flags to half-staff. This directive follows a proclamation by President Donald J. Trump, which honors the victims of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.
“Today’s attack at a Catholic school in Minnesota is horrific and heartbreaking,” said Governor Abbott. “Cecilia and I are lifting up in prayer the families who lost innocent children, those injured, and the entire community as they face this tragedy. Texas is honoring President Trump’s request to lower flags in mourning for the lives senselessly taken and for all injured.”
Flags will remain at half-staff until sunrise on Sunday, August 31, 2025.
