Bikers ride to Orlando to meet with families of shooting victims

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A group of Southwest Florida motorcyclists embarked on a ride to Orlando on Saturday in a show of support for the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting massacre that killed 49 and injured more than 50 others last month.

Members of Lost Riders Chapter 1 will meet with family members of the victims once there.

“We want to let them know that our prayers are with them, our thoughts are with them, that what happened shouldn’t have happened, and that we care about them,” chapter vice president Steve Morris said.
