Governor orders flags to half staff

Gov. Steve Beshear has directed that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff today through sunset on Thursday in honor of the victims of last week’s attack in Paris, France.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims of last week’s unfathomable attack in Paris,” said Gov. Beshear. “Through acts of support such as this, we join the rest of the world in standing with the people of France, and demonstrating that this unspeakable violence will never be tolerated.”

Gov. Beshear encourages individuals, businesses, organizations and government agencies to join in this tribute.
