Forty-nine people and the perpetrator, Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, were killed with an assault rifle one year ago at the Pulse gay bar and disco in Orlando, Florida in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. On June 12th, 50 people in white gathered on Christopher Street to mark the anniversary—an event organized by Gays Against Guns. Each person carried a photo of one of the victims. The owner of Pulse, which has been shuttered since the tragedy, has announced plans to turn the site into a memorial.
