Flags are typically flown at half-mast as a sign of mourning or respect, often in response to the death of a government official, military leader, or another prominent figure.

The President of the United States can issue a proclamation to lower the flag to half-mast, and governors of states can do the same for flags on state buildings. Additionally, flags may be lowered on certain days or events, such as Memorial Day, Patriot Day, and Peace Officers Memorial Day.

It is also possible that the flag is flown at half-mast due to a local event or tragedy. I am sorry as my training data is cut off in 2021, I am unable to confirm the specific reason why the flag is at half-mast today.
