The owner of Pulse nightclub in Florida has abandoned plans to sell the property, choosing instead to turn the scene of a mass shooting into a "sanctuary of hope," her attorney said. Barbara Poma was set to sell the nightclub to the city of Orlando so it could be turned into a memorial for victims of the June 12 massacre, which left 49 people dead and dozens wounded in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. The shooting transformed it into a "sacred place" that needed to be preserved as a memorial to the victims.
This relates back to the massive shooting in the nightclub on June 12th which resulted in 49 deaths. It was a very tragic event and it is good that they are making the club a sanctuary.
