Wednesday, April 18, 2007

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Gov. Brad Henry on Tuesday ordered all flags on state property to fly at half-staff in honor of those killed in the shooting at Virginia Tech University.

Henry's directive is in line with President Bush's order that all U.S. flags at federal locations be flown at half-staff through Sunday, April 22.

"Like all Americans, Oklahomans mourn the senseless loss of life in the wake of this massacre," Henry said in a statement.
