Duke, US & State Flags Lowered Following Las Vegas Shooting

Lowered Duke, state and US flags

Governor Roy Cooper has joined President Donald Trump in ordering all United States and North Carolina flags at state facilities to be lowered to half-staff today, Oct. 2 until sunset on Oct. 6.  The university is lowering all Duke flags as well for that period of time.

In memory of the victims of this tragedy, Governor Cooper made the following statement, “The shooting in Las Vegas is just horrific, senseless violence. We are praying for the victims, their families and the first responders who answered the call.”
