It is common to fly the flag at half mast for the day or two after the death of a member of Congress, so it may be because of the death of Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I'm in Washington DC and the flags here are also at half mast.

Probably to honor the memory of Ohio's Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who died a couple of days ago.
