"As a mark of respect for the victims, their families, and the many affected by this tragedy, I signed the attached Proclamation directing the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout the State of Florida," he said.
The shooting left 49 people dead and another 53 wounded. The Republican governor named June 12 as "Pulse Remembrance Day" last year.
