NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers have been joining in a national outpouring of grief since Sunday's deadly nightclub shooting in Orlando — the worst mass shooting in American history.
Forty-nine people were killed and roughly 53 others were injured in the shooting early Sunday morning after gunman Omar Mateen entered the Pulse nightclub — a gay hotspot in Orlando — and opened fire.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo attended a vigil along with thousands of New Yorkers on Monday night in front of the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, considered the starting point of the modern LGBTQ rights movement.
There have been a series of vigils across the city, including one with the mayor's Clergy Advisory Council's interfaith vigil on the steps of Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village and another in Jackson Heights' Diversity Plaza on Sunday night.
Here are more upcoming vigils:
►There will be a 120-foot-long pride flag projected onto the Broadway side of the Flatiron Building, between East 22nd and 23rd streets, for three consecutive nights. Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.
►The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is hosting a memorial for victims in the Saint James Chapel at 1047 Amsterdam Avenue at 112th St., Manhattan. Saturday at 12:15 p.m.
►Grace Church associate rector Rev. Julie Hoplamazian will hold a 30-minute prayer vigil on the Brooklyn Promenade across from the Montague Street entrance. June 20 at 6:30 p.m.
►A memorial Mass and candlelight vigil will be celebrated at the Church of the Ascension at 221 W. 107th St. June 21 at 7:45 p.m.
►Brooklyn Borough Hall will be wrapped in rainbow-colored fabrics to express solidarity with the borough's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The public is invited to Court Street near Remsen Street to enscribe the fabric with messages to the victims' families. Ongoing.
One World Trade Center lit up in the colors of the pride flag Sunday night, and City Hall did the same. The Empire State Building lights went dark Sunday night in sympathy.
De Blasio also ordered that all flags in the city be lowered to half staff.
