Remembering Pulse: Survivors and victims' families talk
Survivors and victim's families speak on their decisions to tour or avoid touring the Pulse nightclub site ahead of its planned demolition to begin construction of a permanent memorial. The City of Orlando says 25 of the 49 victims' families chose to tour the site and around 250 people signed up total. Thursday marks nine years since a gunman opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people and leaving 53 wounded. Survivors and families of the 49 victims killed in the Pulse Nightclub shooting were invited this week to walk through the nightclub for the first time since the June 12, 2016, massacre, just before the site is demolished. FOX 35's live team coverage includes Pulse survivors and victims' families speaking on their trips inside the Pulse nightclub site, the designer behind the permanent memorial and how the city of Orlando and Orange County choose to honor the victims of this tragedy. Pulse was hosting a Latin Night when Omar Mateen opened fire, killing 49 and wounding 53 in what was then the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Survivors and families had long pushed for meaningful access to the site and a permanent tribute, but a controversial foundation failed to deliver on its $100 million memorial plan, prompting the city to step in.
