On Tuesday, Governor Kate Brown ordered all flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff until sunset on Saturday, in honor and remembrance of the victims of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Brown said, “The violent attack in Texas is devastating, and I am heartbroken. Dan and I send out deepest condolences to the families and friends of the individuals who were killed, and to the entire Uvalde community”.

Brown said, “How many more kids, teachers, shoppers, worshippers and people going about their everyday lives need to die of gun violence? We need Congress to act. We must work together to bring an end to these senseless acts”.
