Gov. Holcomb directs flags to be flown at half staff

INDIANA – Governor Eric J. Holcomb is directing flags to be flown at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the victims of the horrific tragedy in Allen, Texas.

A gunman opened fire at a crowded mall outside Dallas on Saturday, killing at least eight people and injuring at least seven before a police officer killed him, the authorities said, turning a busy afternoon of shopping into a chaotic and tragic scene.

A federal law enforcement official on Sunday identified the gunman as Mauricio Garcia, 33.

Flags should be flown at half-staff immediately until sunset on Thursday, May 11, 2023.
