Hey friends, If you could keep the victims and families of the Pulse Orlando shooting in your thoughts and prayers that would be a huge help to me.
Pulse Orlando is a gay club in the Orlando/UCF area and was a second home to me in my undergrad. I would go there every other weekend just about.
Last night, there was a massive shooting, the gunman had an assault rifle. He opened fired in the middle of the dance floor. There were several reports that there was a second shooting in a car shooting people as they ran out. The gunman held hostages and barricaded himself in Pulse till roughly an hour ago, he has since been reported dead but by what means is still unreported. The actual numbers and names of the victims are unreported but the nearest hospital maxed out red tag victims (critical/ICU) at 20. More red tags were sent to other hospitals as well as yellow and green tags. There have been many confirmed casualties.
I’ve contacted several friends who I would go with or who I know who perform there to see if they’re safe. One has thankfully gotten back to me and they were safe at home.
UCF peeps if you could send me a message letting me know you’re safe that would be great. I hope all your friends are safe as well.
UPDATE 7:45AM SUNDAY 12: Approx 20 dead and 42 injured. UPDATE 11:00AM SUNDAY 12: Death toll reached 50 and 52 injured. Now the deadliest shooting in US history.
