The Latest: City cemetery has space for nightclub victims-Orlando

The Latest: City cemetery has space for nightclub victims

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on the massacre at a gay Orlando nightclub (all times local):

10:55 a.m.

Orlando officials are giving the families of the 49 victims from the Pulse nightclub massacre the option of being buried together in a city-run cemetery.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said Wednesday that there is enough space at the city's Greenwood Cemetery to accommodate 49 plots together if their families desire.

Dyer says the spot in the 82-acre cemetery is near a road which would make it a good spot for some kind of memorial for the victims of the Pulse nightclub since people could leave flowers and cards.
