SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry called for a statewide period of mourning for the victims of the attacks on New Year's morning on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. The "Period of Mourning" was declared through an executive order on Friday afternoon. The order calls for flags over state buildings to be flown at half-staff throughout the first two weeks of January to honor the victims who tragically died. In a news release, the governor's office said, "All political subdivisions, private entities, and educational institutions, including private, parochial, and post-secondary institutions, are encouraged to lower the flags of the United States and State of Louisiana at half-staff during this time period as well. This executive order will be amended as necessary to include every victim once their names are made public." Louisiana State Superintendent Dr. Cade Brumley announced to school system leaders throughout the state to consider observing a moment of silence at 9 am on Monday, January 6. "A heinous act of terrorism occurred in New Orleans only a few hours into 2025," Dr. Brumley wrote in the letter. "As a result, several of our fellow citizens lost their lives, leaving behind friends, family, and lasting legacies. I extend my condolences and prayers to everyone engaged in this period of mourning." Per the governor's order, flags will be flown at half-staff to honor each victim individually.
