Statement from Governor Jan Brewer Flags Lowered for Victims of Navy Yard Shooting

Statement

"With the entire nation in shock and sorrow over today's heinous mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, I ask that all Arizonans join me in prayer for the victims, their loved ones and everyone affected by this senseless rampage. Let us pray also for the first responders and medics as they tend to the wounded, and for members of law enforcement as they work to piece together this tragedy.

"In honor of the victims, and in coordination with the President's proclamation, I have ordered that flags at all State buildings be lowered until sunset, September 20, 2013. I encourage all Arizonans to participate in this tribute."
