President Biden on Tuesday ordered flags be lowered to half-staff until Saturday evening to honor the victims of a shooting at an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago.

The president issued a proclamation “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of gun violence” a day after a gunman killed six people and injured dozens more in Highland Park, Ill., at a Fourth of July celebration.

Flags will be lowered at government buildings and at military installations until sunset on Saturday.

A gunman opened fire at an annual holiday parade in the suburb located nearly 30 miles from the city of Chicago, sending families scrambling for safety.

3. This will be a constance . .....

The GQP candidate for IlL governor did a video a few hours later from the deadly assault - move on. This is the RWers state of mind because they don't give a shit about their fellow Americans.
