Pulse shooting: Survivors soldier on for gun reform

06/12/21 | 6m 31s | Rating: NR

Several events were held on Saturday to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, in which a gunman killed 49 people and injured dozens. At the time, this was the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history and immediately prompted calls for gun laws. Ivette Feliciano speaks with two survivors about the night that changed their lives.
