Gov. Josh Shapiro ordered U.S. and Commonwealth flags on all Commonwealth facilities, public buildings and grounds across Pennsylvania to fly at half staff to recognize the tragedy that occurred at a rally for former President Trump in Butler County Saturday evening and in honor of Corey Comperatore, a Butler County husband and father who was killed while attending the event. Shapiro also extends the prayers of all Pennsylvanians to the two Pennsylvanians who remain in critical condition and their families.

Flags will be lowered to half staff until sunset on the date of interment, which has not yet been announced.

All Pennsylvanians are invited to participate in this tribute.
