Orlando vigil for nightclub shooting victims


ORLANDO -- Thousands of people gathered in downtown Orlando Monday evening for a vigil to support the victims and survivors of the Pulse nightclub mass shooting.
The shooting early Sunday morning left 49 people dead and dozens more injured. It was the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Many in the crowd at the vigil Monday evening say they were inspired to attend because Pulse played a huge role in their lives as gays and lesbians.
Cathleen Daus, now 36 says, "It was a place that a young 20-year-old who wasn't openly gay felt safe for the first time." She worked at Pulse in her twenties. "Pulse gave me confidence, made me realize I was normal and so much like everyone else."
