Governor Glenn Youngkin has issued a flag order to honor Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed while delivering a speech at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

Following President Donald Trump’s presidential proclamation to lower the U.S. flag, Youngkin has directed that flags across the Commonwealth be flown at half-staff on all state and local government buildings.
