US President Barack Obama has ordered flags be flown at half-mast in honour of the victims of the mass shooting at an Oregon community college.
Obama signed the proclamation at the White House on Friday. He's directing flags to be lowered until sunset on Tuesday.
The order applies to flags at the White House, public buildings, US military installations and naval vessels, government facilities and US embassies abroad.
Authorities say a 26-year-old gunman opened fire on Thursday in a class at Umpqua Community College, killing nine and injuring nine others.
