Orlando: Hundreds Gather for Vigil on Anniversary of Pulse Nightclub Massacre
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Orlando, Florida, hundreds of people gathered Sunday night for a
vigil to honor the 49 people who were killed at the Pulse nightclub
massacre one year ago. The shooting at the LGBT club was the deadliest
mass shooting in recent U.S. history. The majority of those killed were
young LGBT people of color. During Sunday night's vigil, 49 people
dressed as angels and carried candles as they surrounded the club, which
is being converted into a memorial to honor the massacre victims.
