The shooting happened on June 12, 2016. Nearly 300 people were inside the club celebrating Latin Night. At the time, it was one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.  Over the last few weeks, several artifacts were removed from inside the building and preserved, including the iconic Pulse sign, as well as a portion of the dance floor. Those will be part of a future permanent memorial that will be built on the site, hopefully, by 2027.
