- 8 years ago
President Obama ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff Friday after a deadly shooting the previous night in Dallas killed five police officers and injured seven.
Obama ordered the flag at the White House and all others on public buildings and grounds across the country to be flown at half-staff until Tuesday evening to honor the victims in Dallas.
It's the 67th time Obama has ordered flags at half-staff, an act he has performed more than any other president, according to a USA TODAY analysis.
Earlier Friday, Obama called the Dallas shooting a "vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement."
