The South Bend, Indiana, mayor paid tribute to the 49 people killed in the Orlando, Florida, massacre, calling for gun control and anti-hate crime legislation.
Three years after a gunman killed 49 people in Orlando, Florida’s, Pulse nightclub, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg remembered the nation’s deadliest attack on the LGBTQ community.
The 2016 massacre unfolded on the venue’s Latin-themed night just before closing time when Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen who claimed to be an ISIS soldier, stormed the building with an assault-style rifle and semiautomatic pistol. In addition to the dead, more than 50 people were injured and dozens were held hostage during a three-hour standoff that ended with the shooter’s death in an early morning police shootout.
For Buttigieg, Wednesday wasn’t only a time to pay tribute to the victims. It was a time to call for gun control and anti-hate crime legislation.
