Omar Mateen — who has claimed alle- giance to ISIS — killed 50 and wounded 53 after opening fire on a crowd at the gay nightclub Pulse at about 2 a.m. Sunday. Mateen was killed three hours later when police raided the club after he held dozens of people hostage. This shooting resulted in the most deaths from a mass shooting in U.S. history. The previous largest shooting in the United States was the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, which ended in the killing of 32 people. In his remarks to the nation, President Barack Obama noted the relatively relaxed gun control laws in the United States. “This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub,” he said. “And we have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.” In an email to students, vice-president of student life E. Royster Harper issued her condolences to the familes of the victims and called for students to lean on one another in their own individual communities. Community rallies to put together memorial performance in 48 hours By KEVIN LINDER Daily Staff Reporter In remembrance of the victims of the nation’s largest mass shooting last Sun- day in Orlando, several hundred students, alumni, faculty and Ann Arbor commu- nity members packed Hill Auditorium for a performance of Mozart’sRequiem. The event, titled “Requiem for Orlando,” drew a somber crowd to mourn the victims of the attack and their families and to stand in solidarity against the hatred behind the tragedy. In a span of just 48 hours, Austin Stew- art, a musicology graduate student at the University of Michigan, and Colin Knapp, a University alum who received his bach- elor’s in music in 2014, enlisted nearly 200 volunteer singers and musicians to perform Mozart’s Requiem for the event. Prior to the beginning of the perfor- mance, several guest speakers took the stage to pay their respects to the lives lost and to voice words of strength against social injustice and violence fueled by hate. Guest speakers included Univer- sity President Mark Schlissel, Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor, School of Music, Theatre & Dance Dean Aaron Dworkin and LGTBQ community icon Jim Toy. Schlissel offered sympathy to all those hurt, directly and indirectly, by the tragic events that occurred last Sunday.
