  • Memorial planned for Orlando's Pulse nightclub image
  • Pulse owner Barbara Poma is heading up a new organization dedicated to installing a memorial at the club. Poma had already announced plans for a memorial to the 49 victims of last month's shooting. This week she and her attorney launched the OnePulse Foundation, The Orlando Sentinel reports, with the purpose of "conceiving, funding and aiding in the construction of a permanent memorial on the existing Pulse site." The not-for-profit company then filed documents with the state of Florida proposing plans for the site. It's unclear whether the club itself will reopen, though the owner has said she intends to get it rebuilt and running.
