COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH)–Ohio Gov. John Kasich has ordered that flags be flown at half-staff this week in Ohio after terror attacks in Belgium Tuesday.
Kasich is asking for flags on all public buildings and grounds in the Buckeye State to immediately be lowered to half-staff and remain that way until sunset on March 26.
The presidential candidate released a statement earlier Tuesday after the attacks, which killed at least 30 people and wounded about 230 more.
“We and our allies must rededicate ourselves to these values of freedom and human rights. We must utterly reject the use of deadly acts of terror,” he said in a statement. “We must also redouble our efforts with our allies to identify, root out and destroy the perpetrators of such acts of evil. We must strengthen our alliances as our way of life and the international system that has been built on our common values since the end of the Second World War comes under challenge from these and other actors of evil.”
