Flags at BB game, why half mast?

This is what I found, even though the date was for yesterday.

The Texas flag is at half-staff today.​

That is lame. I am sure every day there are 8 separate homicides where 8 people are killed. Don't those lives deserve a similar respect?
The only way this makes sense is if every day there is a homicide in the country, all flags must fly half-mast....

It's being used as a wedge issue. Half mast flags anytime there is a mass shooting involving certain groups and meeting certain "criteria". But "other" groups that shoot each other in urban areas with regularity-- there will be no half mast flags for those souls.
