President Biden Orders Flags To Remain Lowered Until Sunset on Friday | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As the head of the Diocese of Nashville calls for prayers for the victims and families of yesterday's deadly school shooting, President Joe Biden has ordered American flags to fly at half-staff across the country until sunset this Friday as “a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on March 27th, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee.” White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the slaughter, “Our hearts go out to the families and the friends of these families who lost loved ones, again another devastating heartbreaking day that we saw this time it happened in Nashville, Tennessee.” The Police Chief John Drake said in an interview with NBC News that investigators believe the shooter had “some resentment for having to go to that school.” Later today in Durham, North Carolina, President Biden visited a semiconductor company to pump his "Investing in America" agenda. Meanwhile, the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was scheduled to have a virtual meeting this morning with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but he traveled to the war’s front lines again, so Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba joined the virtual meeting instead. And overseas, during a week-long trip to Africa, Vice President Kamala Harris pledged a new era of partnership and innovation that includes women. White House Correspondent, Owen Jensen, reports.
