HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -- Governor Josh Shapiro has ordered United States and Commonwealth flags to fly at half-staff.

Just moments ago, Governor Shapiro ordered United States and Commonwealth flags on all Commonwealth facilities, public buildings, and grounds across the state to fly at half-staff.

This order was made in honor of the three officers killed in the line of duty during a tragic shooting earlier today in North Codorus Township in York County.

According to Shapiro, these flags are to be lowered to half-staff immediately and remain lowered until the date of interment for the officers, which has not yet been announced.
