Spokane Mayor David Condon, following a declaration by President Donald Trump, has directed that United States and Washington state flags at all City facilities be lowered to half-staff to honor victims of the mass shooting late last night in Las Vegas.
“Spokane sends its deepest sympathies and condolences to all those touched by the devastating tragedy in Las Vegas,” Condon said. “Today is a difficult day for hundreds of families and for our nation as we try to make sense out of the unspeakable violence unleashed on people enjoying an evening of music. We join the country in mourning those who have lost their lives and supporting the friends, families and loved ones of those who were killed or injured in this senseless attack.”
Flags will remain lowered until sundown on Oct. 6. Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.
