ORLANDO, Fla. —Friday marks four years since the Pulse Nightclub Massacre.
On June 12, 2016, a gunman opened fire at the Orlando club, killing 49 people.
Normally, thousands of people would gather for the annual remembrance ceremony, but this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, things will be different.
