Anderson Cooper became emotional while reciting the names of the victims in the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., on Monday.
“We begin tonight with their names, the names of the 48 out of 49 people who have so far been identified, victims of the deadliest mass shooting in American history,” Cooper says.
“There’s one name I want to tell you that you will not hear during this broadcast tonight, one picture of a person you won’t see,” Cooper continued.”We will not say the gunman’s name or show his photograph. It’s been shown far too much already.”
The CNN anchor teared up while reading the names and ages of the victims as well as facts, when known, about their lives.
“They are more than a list of names. They are people who loved and who were loved.” – @andersoncooper #Orlando https://t.co/DkxxPC1XtW

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
