According to an AP report, "U.S. flags flown at all public buildings and grounds, including military posts, will fly at half-staff until sunset on Saturday."

"Our thoughts and prayers as a nation are with the service members killed last week in Chattanooga. We honor their service. We offer our gratitude to the police officers and first responders who stopped the rampage and saved lives," said the president.

"We draw strength from yet another American community that has come together with an unmistakable message to those who would try and do us harm: 'We do not give in to fear. You cannot divide us. And you will not change our way of life,'" he added.
