Gov. Kelly Armstrong has ordered that all U.S. and North Dakota flags be flown at half-staff from today until sunset on Sunday, September 14, to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Kirk was shot and killed at an event in Utah.

Armstrong encouraged residents and businesses across North Dakota to lower their flags as a sign of respect.

“Kjersti and I extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the family of Charlie Kirk after this senseless and reprehensible act. There is absolutely no place in America for political violence,” Armstrong said.

The governor's directive follows a proclamation issued by President Donald Trump.
