Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered all state government buildings to lower the United States and Texas flags to half-staff in memory of Charlie Kirk, following a proclamation by President Donald Trump.

Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on Sunday, Sept. 14, according to the governor's office.

Abbott expressed deep sorrow over Kirk’s assassination, stating:

“Cecilia and I are heartbroken by the assassination and passing of Charlie Kirk. Charlie’s voice was a beacon for millions of young Americans searching for truth, courage, and conviction. This senseless act of violence has no place in America. Our prayers are with Charlie’s family and his loved ones, especially the two young children he leaves behind. Texas stands with them in mourning and in honoring Charlie's enduring legacy.”
