Communities look for ways to keep residents safe. That is especially true in our area. Melanie alnwick this morning with more on how local Law Enforcement is responding, mel, good morning. Well, steve, allison. You can see the memorial here the local memorial in dew point circle for those lost in orlando continues to grow and it certainly was felt very deeply here in washington d. C. And it happened to be a very big weekend as we know pride weekend in washington a lot of big events going on as well. We learned from d. C. Police chief kathy linear that she got a call just as that event in orlando was unfilleding and because she had so many resources already in place because of a big concert and large event happening on sunday afternoon she already had resources in place and had to move things around and mobilize things quickly to try to make sure that the community here was safe and people are concerns with gathering and maybe once upon a time and not a target for terrorist and sadly we
