Why are flags half mast today? Why are the flags at half mast today

Answer

Sadly, I can find no mention of South Carolina flags being flown at half staff. It is either a mistake, or someone local has died.

I could not find a reason for flags to be at half mast today. They are sometimes done locally to honor someone in town. ChaCha!
