ORLANDO, Fla. — To commemorate the six-year remembrance of Orlando’s Pulse nightclub massacre, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a proclamation ordering flags at all local and state buildings to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Sunday.
“As a mark of respect for the victims, their families, and the many affected by this tragedy, I signed the attached Proclamation directing the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout the State of Florida,” it read.
On June 12, 2016, a gunman walked into the gay nightclub near downtown Orlando and shot 49 people to death and injured dozens of others in what was at the time the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
