The Governor orders that all flags on state buildings be lowered to half-staff from sunrise until sunset on Thursday, October 6, 2022, in tribute to Master Police Officer Tyrell Owens-Riley of the Columbia Police Department and in honor of his selfless service, remarkable bravery, and supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. The Governor requests that all flags over the buildings of the political subdivisions of this State similarly be flown at half-staff for this purpose.
