Biden decries 'senseless' Texas shooting, orders flags at half staff

US President Joe Biden on Sunday denounced the "senseless acts of violence" by a Texas shooter who a day earlier killed eight people in a shopping mall massacre.

In a White House proclamation, Biden ordered US flags flown at half staff at federal buildings, military posts and American embassies until sunset, May 11, "as a mark of respect for the victims."

The attack also left seven people wounded, including three in critical condition.
