Slideshow: Juneau gathers to grieve Orlando mass shooting

More than 150 people gathered in Marine Park Monday afternoon for a vigil service for those affected by the mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub. The event was  hosted by the Southeast Alaska Gay and Lesbian Alliance (SEAGLA) and led by Pride Commitee members Jenny Jahn, James Hoagland and Aldersgate United Methodist Church pastor Susan Boegli.

Names of confirmed victims from the Pulse Orlando nightclub shooting were read aloud followed by bell chimes. The ceremony ended in prayer with candle lighting and song.
