(Harrisburg, PA) Governor Josh Shapiro ordered today in accordance with the United States Flag Code that United States and Commonwealth flags on all Commonwealth facilities, public buildings, and grounds across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to fly at half-staff to honor Corporal Timothy J. O’Connor Jr., of the Pennsylvania State Police, who was killed in the line of duty in Chester County. O’Connor was shot and killed yesterday by an “erratic” driver in West Caln Township. The flags need to be lowered to half-staff immediately and will remain lowered until the date of interment for O’Connor, which has not yet been announced, and all Pennsylvanians are invited to participate in this tribute to honor him.
