They were there to have fun, to dance, and to be joyous, but that joy was cut short by violence and terror when a lone gunman began to open fire. In the 10 minutes that the shooting lasted, over 1,100 rounds were fired. I repeat: 1,100 rounds. There were 58 innocent people murdered and 422 injured. Next week marks the second anniversary of that horrific evening--the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Sons, daughters, parents, friends, and neighborhoods--each one of them were loved, and they were all taken from us far too soon. Countless others were injured in the chaotic frenzy that followed the gunfire. Many will never live the same life they once knew.
