INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has directed flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the victims of a shooting at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Ill.
Holcomb is asking businesses and residents across the state to lower their flags. It follows an order by President Joe Biden earlier Tuesday to fly flags on federal facilities at half-staff.
