Biden to sign bill designating Pulse Nightclub as a national memorial
President Joe Biden issued a statement Saturday marking the 5th anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting, one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history, pledging that he will sign a bill designating the site as a national memorial.
The president said his action will enshrine “in law what has been true since that terrible day five years ago: Pulse Nightclub is hallowed ground."
On June 12, 2016, 29-year-old Omar Mateen killed 49 people and wounded more than 50 others at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, many of whom were Latino and LGBTQ+. Mateen called Spectrum News 13 and said that he was the shooter, adding that he carried it out on behalf of ISIS. He later died in a shootout with police.
“Five years ago today in Orlando in the middle of Pride Month, our nation suffered the deadliest attack affecting the LGBTQ+ community in American history, and at the time, the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman,” Biden wrote.
