MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin has ordered that flags on public buildings around the state be lowered to half-staff through Wednesday in honor of those killed in the shooting rampage at a Colorado movie theater.
Twelve people were killed and about 60 were wounded when a gunman opened fire early Friday in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., at a showing of the new Batman movie.
Shumlin's order follows one by President Barack Obama that flags be flown at half-staff on federal buildings.
