Pulse Nightclub to Host 6-Month Memorial for Shooting Victims

An Orlando nightclub is set to host a memorial marking six months since the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Pulse announced the "Remembering Our Angels" event Thursday on social media.

Forty-nine people were killed and dozens more injured June 12 after gunman Omar Mateen opened fire inside the nightclub. The club will open at 1:45 a.m. Monday for candle lighting, with a moment of silence scheduled for 2:02 a.m., the time the attack began.

Pulse will reopen at 5:30 p.m. Monday for a memorial ceremony. Local pastors are scheduled to speak, and the Orlando Gay Chorus is set to perform.

Talk about a tale of two tours. One golf shop had TVs showing LIV Golf and the PGA Tour at the same time. That's what golf looks like at the moment, and it isn't likely to change any time soon. The only place to find the best players in the world on the same stage is at the majors. The majors have always been the most important in golf. It seems now more than ever they're all that matter since players are scattered among two tours. But as time goes on, even the majors will be lacking all the best.

Pulse nightclub owner Barbara Poma recently declined an offer from the city of Orlando to buy the building. She said she plans to make the space a "sanctuary of hope."
