Flags at half-staff in honor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas victims

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis directed flags to fly at half-staff on February 14 in remembrance of the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
On February 14, 2018, a former student named Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people at the high school, which DeSantis described as "one of Florida's darkest days."
DeSantis asked Floridians to pause for a moment of silence at 10:17 a.m. To honor the 17 innocent lives lost in the tragedy.
Alyssa's Law was passed in 2020, providing $8 million for panic alert systems in schools, along with other laws aimed at improving school safety post-shooting.
