Flags are flying at half-staff currently to honor the victims of a recent mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis. The U.S. President ordered that flags be flown at half-staff nationwide from the day of the shooting until sunset on Sunday, August 31, 2025, as a sign of respect and mourning for the victims, including two children who died and many others injured. This gesture is a national expression of grief and remembrance for the senseless violence.
