"A year has passed, but I continue to carry sorrow for the victims and their families of this heinous attack," said Gov. Wolf. "We must honor them by remembering, and through our thoughts, prayers and actions. I ask all Pennsylvanians to spend Oct. 27 doing the same in their honor. Pittsburgh is a city of bridges, and so it is a fitting tribute to commemorate this occasion with a day of building bridges of understanding, welcome and friendship."
The proclamation orders all state flags to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise until sunset in all commonwealth facilities, public buildings, and grounds.
