Gov. Jeff Colyer has ordered flags throughout Kansas to be flown at half-staff through Monday to honor the victims of Wednesday’s school shooting in Florida that killed 17 people. “On behalf of Kansans everywhere, our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters impacted by the tragic act of violence in Florida yesterday,” Gov. Colyer said. “When confronted with such evil, we must come together, turn our eyes towards what is good by serving our communities, our neighbors, and proving that love will always triumph over hate,” he continued. The order went into effect immediately and will last through Monday, the governor’s office said. The White House has also ordered flags to half-staff at all of its public buildings and military installations.
