ORLANDO, Fla. -- For the umpteenth time, a horrific mass shooting on U.S. soil united people around the world in solemn vigils.

In tribute to the reported 50 dead and 53 injured victims of the early morning shooting at Orlando, Florida, gay club Pulse on Sunday, people gathered near the scene of the crime, in churches, outside LGBT landmarks and in pride parades to speak out against the senseless violence.

At the Joy Metropolitan Community Church, a predominantly gay congregation in the city, members of the Orlando Gay Chorus led mourners through tearful songs to commemorate the victims' lives.
