Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is ordering the lowering of flags at state facilities as a mark of respect for the victims of  the deadly shooting at a movie theater in Colorado.
    
The governor ordered the flags lowered on Friday following the overnight shooting during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.
    
Tomblin's office says the flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on Wednesday.
