RICHMOND, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Governor Glenn Youngkin has ordered all state and local buildings and grounds to fly the US and Virginia flags at half-staff Tuesday for the 17th Anniversary of the Virginia Tech Shooting.

Youngkin stated Monday in his order that it is out of memory and respect for the 32 lives that were lost on the Blacksburg campus on April 16, 2007.

The governor has ordered that the flags shall be lowered at sunrise on Tuesday and remain at half-staff until sunset.
