State Flags at Half-Staff today

(Thanks to AP) Governor Doug Ducey ordered that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff until sunset today in honor of a fallen soldier from Peoria. U.S. Army Private First Class Antonio Garcia died Sunday morning during a training accident at Fort Stewart, Georgia. He joined the Army last year. The 21-year old was among soldiers training in darkness when their armored vehicle fell from a bridge and landed upside down in water below.

Army officials say three soldiers died and three others were injured. The soldiers belonged to the 1st Armored Brigade of the Fort Stewart-based 3rd Infantry Division.
