Biden on Sunday ordered all US flags at public buildings to be flown at half-staff to honour the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park, California.
Biden directed that flags be lowered until sunset on January 26 "as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on January 21, 2023, in Monterey Park, California," a White House statement said.
