City Flags Lowered in Honor of Train Crash Victims

Mayor Villaraigosa released this statement late this morning while ordering all flags in the city to be lowered for the second time in three days: "Less than 24 hours after the crash, our number one priority remains rescuing victims, caring for the injured and connecting with the families still missing their loved ones. Our brave firefighters and police officers will work tirelessly until every person is found. Today, the thoughts and prayers of the people of Los Angeles are with the families who suffered loss last night and those still waiting for their loved ones to come home."
