Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has ordered all U.S. and Michigan flags to be lowered to half-staff in honor of the victims of the shooting at Michigan State University. Flags should be lowered and stay at half-staff until further notice.
The MSU Board of Trustees released the following statement Tuesday morning:
“Our hearts go out to the victims and families of this senseless tragedy. Thank you to MSU, local, state, and national law enforcement agencies and first responders who worked to protect our MSU community. We thank our counseling service providers who will work to bring calm and care to everyone on campus in the coming days and weeks. In the difficult days to come, the MSU Board of Trustees are united to heal our university and the entire Spartan community.”
