In a tribute to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting, the Governor of Florida has issued a directive for all United States and State of Florida flags to be flown at half-staff on June 12.
This date marks the eighth anniversary of the devastating terrorist attack that took the lives of 49 individuals and wounded 53 others.
The horrific event, which unfolded on June 12, 2016, at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, stands as one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.
The shooter, who claimed allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), targeted the LGBTQ and Hispanic communities, leaving a deep scar on the nation.
The flags will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset across all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout Florida.
