The night before West Hollywood Pride.
http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/the-wrap/article/After-Orlando-Killings-West-Hollywood-Pride-8080343.php
Following the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, Sunday’s Pride parade in West Hollywood will go on as scheduled, according to the local sheriffs department there.
L.A. Pride organizers will observe a moment of silence at 10:45 a.m. along the entire parade route.
“The security had already been increased as a result of Pride weekend,” Lieutenant Edward Ramirez of West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station told TheWrap. “We ensured all of our deputies in the city of West Hollywood were working.
“In light of incident in Orlando, Los Angeles County is fully prepared to respond should the need exist,” he said, confirming that officers are equipped with tactical gear in case the need to respond to an active shooter situation arises.
