This has been a painful year, and we sit here once again surrounded by seemingly incomprehensible loss. We can never let ourselves become numb to this pain, because we simply can\u2019t let this be accepted as anything close to a normal occurrence. We know there will be many hard days in the weeks and months ahead, but today let us remember the ten men and women who are no longer with us,\u201d said Governor Jared Polis.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden also issued a proclamation today ordering all flags lowered to half-staff in remembrance of the victims of yesterday\u2019s shooting in Boulder.
