Why you will see flags at half-staff through Thursday

DENVER (KDVR) — Gov. Jared Polis has ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff until sunset on Thursday.

Flags will be flown at half-staff on all public buildings in honor and remembrance of the mass shooting in Allen, Texas where eight people were killed at an outlet mall.

A gunman stepped out of a silver sedan and started shooting people at the Dallas-area outlet mall Saturday, killing eight and wounding seven others — three critically — before being killed by a police officer who happened to be nearby, authorities said.
