LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY)– Tuesday night, members of several community service organizations will be holding a candlelight vigil in Parc Sans Souci to honor the victims of the Orlando shooting.

“We can’t respond hate with hate we have to respond with love,” said vigil coordinator Joshua Young.

Flags at Parc Sans Souci fly at half-staff after the Orlando nightclub massacre and community members around Acadiana want to show their respect as well.

“Orlando could be anywhere [In the] USA,” said Acadiana Pride member Ted Richard, “It could have been in New Orleans, it could have been in Lafayette, it could have been in Baton Rouge it could have been anywhere. So we want to get our community together to understand that we need to be supportive of each other.”

Community service organizations have organized a candlelight vigil to honor those who were affected by the largest mass shooting in US history.

“We want to come together as a community and just stand united and be one and show the world and the state of Louisiana that we do stand with our brothers and sister even though they are states away,” said Acadiana Pride President Tara Guy,

“No one has the right to take anyone’s life over something that they don’t like.”

Community members who are planning to attend the vigil are asked to wear yellow so, “everybody can remember that even through all this darkness we can always be the light,” said Richard.

The candlelight vigil will begin tonight at 7:30 p.m. and community members will paint the Lafayette letters in Parc Sans Souci rainbow starting at noon.
