American flags will be flown at half-staff this week to honor the victims of the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Minneapolis , President Donald Trump announced Wednesday afternoon.

The half-staff flags will honor the two children who were killed and the additional 17 people who were injured by a gunman who opened fire on students and teachers gathered for Wednesday morning Mass at the Minneapolis Catholic school. The shooter, named Robin Westman, according to the Associated Press , died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the parking lot.
