UPDATE: TROLLED… first time for the site. Whoops! People died, but don’t bet on the fur name below. It was a hoax for cheap attention. Don’t skip the other truthful info here.
Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, was the scene of a national tragedy in the early AM hours of June 12. News has spread far and wide about this worst mass shooting in US history. 50 or more lives were taken at a gay club, which is especially meaningful to many during Pride month. You’ll see a sea of rememberances at the celebrations everywhere.

The event at Pulse happened to be a Latin night. Comments to their Facebook page mention that the event was shared by more than gay people. It touched other communities as well – including ours.
Let’s focus on what it means to the small Furry subculture, and the impact of such events in general.
For those in Orlando Florida, my heart’s out for you from furry
(Suspicious info below.)
Kodakoda Coyote died in the shooting, as shared by Soatoak on Reddit. Here’s his FurAffinity account, listing his age of 20 (as of 2012?) It gives no further info, except salutes from others. (This news is rushed out prior to finding if there’s more info, but expect more attention for him.)
