Celebrities Show Their Support for Orlando After Deadly Nightclub Shooting
The tragedy that occurred Sunday morning at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando was utterly devastating, and many people have shown support lining up along with hundreds of others to donate blood and help in any way they can.
Celebrities have also been showing immense support for the city and the victims and their families in their own way.
One of them is J.K. Rowling. One of the victims, 22 year old Luis Velma, worked at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at one of the rides, and J.K. Rowling has tweeted saying “I can’t stop crying.”
