Remembering the Victims of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre 10 Years Later
The city is hosting blood drives, ceremonies and art exhibits as the permanent memorial nears completion after years of delays and disputes.
- On Friday, Orlando marks 10 years since a gunman opened fire at Pulse nightclub, killing 49 people and wounding 58 others; the community is holding memorial events throughout the day to honor the victims.
- The tragedy unfolded on June 12, 2016, during Latin Night at Pulse when a gunman armed with an automatic weapon opened fire on the crowded dance floor; Orange County SWAT breached the back wall just after 5 a.m., ending the standoff.
- Efforts to build a permanent memorial faced controversy and mismanagement, with the onePulse Foundation collapsing in 2023 after high-level staff departures and financial strain; the Pulse building was demolished earlier this year to clear the site.
- Residents gathered for commemorative services Friday, including a blood drive at Orlando City Hall and an exhibition featuring 49 portraits honoring victims; the memorial site remains illuminated nightly through June 15.
- Orlando is proceeding with construction of a new permanent memorial site, while former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords will host discussions tomorrow addressing gun violence and challenges facing the LGBTQ community.
