PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Governor Chafee has ordered all U.S. and Rhode Island flags on public buildings to be lowered to half-staff until sunset Friday out of respect for those who lost their lives in the assault on a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis.
The governor's office said the order was at the direction of President Obama as well as a mark of respect for the victims on the senseless acts of violence perpetuated Sunday in Oak Creek.
