The governor released a statement saying, "The senseless act of gun violence that took place yesterday during a holiday celebration is horrific, and yet another sobering reminder that we must work together to bring an end to these senseless acts," said Governor Brown. "Dan and I send our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the six individuals who were killed, those who were injured, and the entire Highland Park community."

The order follows a national proclamation from President Biden, issued earlier on Tuesday.
