Gov. Josh Green has ordered Hawaiʻi flags flown at half-staff, at the direction of President Donald Trump, in memory of slain conservative activist and author Charlie Kirk. Flags will be lowered until Sept. 14.

Kirk, a close ally of President Trump who was influential in rallying young voters, was shot and killed during an event Wednesday at Utah Valley University. The unidentified assassin fired from a nearby rooftop.

Gov. Green condemned the act of violence.

“There is no place in Hawaiʻi or in our country for political violence,” he said. “We may disagree on policies, but we must never allow division to turn into hate or harm. Democracy only survives when we resolve our differences through respect, dialogue and compassion.”
