SALEM, MA—In honor of those victims lost in Baton Rouge Sunday, Mayor Kimberly Driscoll has ordered the City's flags to half staff for the remainder of this week.
The decision comes by way of a presidential proclamation and as ordered by Gov. Charlie Baker. Three law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge were shot and killed and three others wounded in what Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards described as a "heinous attack on law enforcement."
