5/31/23

Beginning at sunrise, Governor Glenn Youngkin has ordered flags lowered to half-staff on yet another day of remembrance in the commonwealth.

The order falls on the fourth anniversary of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center shooting. On May 31st, 2019, a disgruntled city worker shot and killed 12 fellow employees and injured six others before he was fatally shot by police.

As always, the half-staff order applies to the U-S and Virginia flags outside state, local and federal building.

It will remain in place through sunset tonight.
