Federal Courthouses Lower Flags to Half-Mast in Memory of Chief Judge John Roll and All the Victims of the Tucson Shooting

Federal courthouses across the country lowered their flags to half-mast Monday in memory of Chief District Judge John M. Roll of Arizona, who was among those slain in a mass shooting in Tucson on January 8. Images from across the country are posted on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit website. Hat tip to ATL's Elie Mystal. See also David Lat's follow-up ATL post, A Request from Chief Judge Alex Kozinski ("could you encourage your readers to send in pictures of their local federal courthouse with the flag at half mast? The pictures we are getting are still trickling in but there must be scores of other courthouses out there where no one has sent in a picture.").[JH]
