Gov.: flags back to full staff late Sat.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is ordering state and U.S. flags in Connecticut raised again to full staff at sunset on Saturday, after the final funeral services for victims of the Newtown school shooting.

Malloy ordered flags to half-staff on Dec. 14 to honor the 20 children and six adults killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School that day one week ago.

Malloy said Friday the special observance will be concluded following the last funerals.

Malloy and other officials let a moment of silence in Newtown at 9:30 on Friday morning, the time the shootings began last week. People around the country joined in the observance. Bells tolled for the victims.
