The U.S. flag will be flown at half-staff at the White House and at locations across the United States as a mark of respect for the victims of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas.

U.S. President Joe Biden was aboard Air Force One Tuesday afternoon when officials said a gunman acted alone in fatally shooting at least 14 students and a teacher at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
