World unites in tribute to victims of the Orlando nightclub massacre
Millions of
people around the world have joined together to light candles and hold
vigils in memory of the 49 people killed in the deadliest mass shooting
in US history.
In
dozens of countries and cities from London to South Korea, Copenhagen,
Berlin, Bangkok and Australia, mourners have paid their respects to
those brutally murdered by Omar Mateen, who opened fire in the gay club
Pulse in Orlando on Sunday.
The gunman killed 49 people in a hail of bullets, and injured more than 50 in the massacre - sending shockwaves across the globe.
Now
landmarks across the world - from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to Syndey's
Harbour Bridge, have been lit up in rainbow colours to show their
solidarity with the LGBT community.
Terrorist
Omar Mateen shot dead 49 people and wounded at least 53 more during the
massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in the early hours of Sunday
morning – and called 911 just before the attack to pledge allegiance to
ISIS.
Mateen,
of Port St. Lucie in Florida, reportedly laughed as he sprayed bullets
into the crowded club before he was shot dead by a SWAT team several
hours after launching his horrific massacre with a legally bought
assault rifle and pistol.
