TUPELO, Miss.—The nation continues to mourn today, as the names of the lives lost in a tragic shooting early Sunday morning at an Orlando nightclub begin to surface.

American Family Association (AFA, www.afa.net) released the following statement:

“This is a time when a nation must come together, reminding that God loves all people, and all are His creation, made in His own image,” said AFA President Tim Wildmon. “All lives are precious, and because the American Family Association is known for its commitment to family values, we deeply mourn when lives are lost due to senseless violence. We know there are millions praying for the families and friends of the victims, and we ask all to join together with them and for those who are wounded, that a healing of both the body and the community will be reality.”
