Other cities, including Pembroke Pines and Margate, also held vigils Sunday to remember the moment that shook the area to its core.
An event Sunday morning in Coral Springs paid tribute to the lives lost, with family and friends lighting 17 candles for those killed in the shooting. NBC 6 has team coverage of events taking place in South Florida to commemorate the victims of the Parkland shooting.
In Fort Lauderdale, a separate event remembered the lives lost with the emotion still the same three years later. Today for our family is not much different than any other day, said Tony Montalto, whose daughter Gina was one of the 17 victims. “Every day we’re faced with the loss of our bright and bubbly daughter.”

CORAL SPRINGS, FL - We remain optimistic that with the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines, the end of this unprecedented pandemic is in sight for 2021.
We are proud to have developed partnerships with the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) and Florida Department of Health (FDOH), as well as local medical providers to serve as a distribution point for the COVID-19 vaccine. Our city staff quickly assembled a team to open a site at the Coral Square Mall to better serve the senior community in the northwest corridor of Broward County in January.
