All City of Lake Wales flags flew at half mast this week, due to a proclamation by Governor Rick Scott that came from President Barack Obama, to lower the flags in memory of the victims of the Wisconsin shooting.
Flags have been flying at half-staff in Lake Wales this week following the shootings last Sunday in Wisconsin.
President Obama ordered U.S. flags be flown at half-staff in response to the shootings at a Sikh temple, THE HILL’s website said. Six people died and three others were wounded as a result of the shooting.
