(Washington, DC) In response to the mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, FL, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued the following statement:

"This morning, our hearts are heavy after hearing about the tragedy in Orlando. Just yesterday, we held the annual Capital Pride Parade, a celebration of the rich diversity and contributions of the LGBTQ community in the District of Columbia.
