Governor Tina Kotek has ordered all flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff until sunset on September 14th in pursuant of a Presidential Proclamation, in honor of Charlie Kirk.
Governor Kotek issued a statement: “I offer my deepest condolences to Mr. Kirk’s family. This attack is inexcusable. Violence has absolutely no place in our democracy. America is better than this”.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Governor ordered all flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset on September 11th, in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 civilians and first responders that were killed in the 2001 terrorist attacks.
