The Maryland flag is at half-mast today as a mark of respect for the victims of a senseless act of violence that occurred on August 27, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This order was made following a presidential proclamation by President Donald J. Trump and is effective until sunset on August 31, 2025. The Maryland flag is lowered in accordance with protocol, as no flag may fly higher than the United States flag which is also at half-staff in honor of the victims.
