Daniel Brigano was born and raised right here in Utica, NY. He recently moved to Florida and is a bartender at many different clubs. One of the jobs he was actively seeking was a position at 'Pulse,' the nightclub that was recently attacked. In fact, Dan was at 'Pulse' the week leading up to the massacre that took 49 innocent lives. Dan shared his story with us.
A wise man once said "see tragedy, and the world is tragic - see beauty, and the world is beautiful." The tragic Orlando mass shooting has brought out the beauty from around the world. From landmarks being lit up to candlelight vigils, the world stands together with the victims and their families. A Rochester gay couple felt the love after a random act of kindness.
The bouncer being hailed a hero for saving many lives in the Orlando mass shooting has ties to New York. Imran Yousuf is a 2010 graduate of Niskayuna High School in Schenectady County.
Flags fly at half mast, candle light vigils are being held and landmarks are lit up around the world to honor the Orlando victims in the worst mass shooting in history. See how Central New York showed their support. From Utica and Albany to Syracuse and Buffalo, people in the Empire State stand with Orlando.
