President Trump on Sunday ordered U.S. flags to half-staff as "mark of solemn respect" for the victims of weekend mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
"Our Nation mourns with those whose loved ones were murdered in the tragic shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, and we share in the pain and suffering of all those who were injured in these two senseless attacks," Trump said in a proclamation released by the White House.
"We condemn these hateful and cowardly acts," he added. "Through our grief, America stands united with the people of El Paso and Dayton.
"May God be with the victims of these two horrific crimes and bring aid and comfort to their families and friends."
Flags will be flown at half-staff at federal facilities until sunset on Thursday.
At least 20 people were killed on Saturday at a Walmart in El Paso. Hours later, nine people died when a gunman opened fire at a bar in Dayton.

LOL! Sorry, people of Gilroy, your lives don't matter.
Just kidding! Jes' a little joke, there. Settle down. I'm not a Never-Trumper. Seriesly, I'm not.
And from the antis: “We don’t want your thoughts and prayers. We demand all guns be turned in and no more sold.”
Prayers that Americans will start teaching their children the Gospel and remind them they have a God to serve. Then they won’t grow up to do evil.
These two shootings were within 24 hours. Gilroy happened earlier.
So lets stop producing Little Debbies and Krispy Creames so fat people won’t get fat!...and no more fairs or carnivals with cotton candy and doughnut holes...can’t have that either!
Well said, Bump!
No No No
>>>And from the antis: “We don’t want your thoughts and prayers. We demand all guns be turned in and no more sold.”<<<
35,000 a Year die in Traffic Accidents.
And from the antis: “We don’t want your thoughts and prayers. We demand all MOTOR VEHICLES be turned in and no more sold.”
3,500 a Year die in Accidental Drownings.
And from the antis: “We don’t want your thoughts and prayers. We demand all SWIMMING POOLS be turned in and no more sold.”
Just pick a cause of death and go for it.
It’s so easy, even a Liberal can do it.
You missed the point completely
Ban forks!
Ah, the statute of limitations on grief had expired, eh? Wow. You people crack me up.
The only thing that is automatically animated by the radical left wing constitution hating radical extremists are firearms. Everything else, meh.
What about the 3000 or so aborted babies a day

No no no is correct correct correct.
We are trivializing the time honored tradition of lowering flags to half mast.
73 people were shot in Chicago this weekend.......and 100-200 people will die TODAY in automobile accidents.
True that!
Okay, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Otherwise you are talking all the way back to Winchester Cathedral.
