Duke Lowers US, State and Duke Flags Following Dallas Shootings

Duke University has lowered all United States, North Carolina and university flags to half-staff through sunset on Tuesday, July 12. The step follows N.C. Governor Pat McCrory's order that state and federal flags be lowered at all state facilities to honor the life and service of the Dallas Police Department officers who were killed on July 7, in Dallas, TX. 

"Ann and I are heartbroken after the terrible tragedy in Dallas. Our prayers go out to our dedicated law enforcement officers across our nation and our state who risk their lives every day to protect and serve. During times like this, we must all come together and support one another in our communities," said Governor McCrory.
