Darren Young Comments on Orlando Nightclub Massacre
Darren Young, an openly gay WWE Superstar who has spoken out numerous times against violence and persecution towards the LGBT community, took to Twitter to offer his thoughts on the tragedy that unfolded in Orlando earlier this morning, that took the lives of 50 individuals at an LGBT nightclub, wounding at least 50 more.
The worst mass shooting in U.S. History happened to my peeps proving that being openly gay STILL puts you at so much risk. #PrayForFlorida

Young was in Los Angeles this weekend to participate in the annual Gay Pride Parade, where another individual was arrested by local law enforcement, allegedly carrying assault riffles and potential explosive devices.
Triple H Shares Thoughts After Landing in China
Triple H, who flew from the NXT tour in the UK to China earlier today, received word of the attack upon landing. Orlando is somewhat of a second home to WWE, as both NXT and the WWE Performance Center reside in the city and nearby areas.
Landed in China to horrible news. As the home of @WWENXT and @WWEPerformCtr, Orlando feels like a 2nd home. This event is a tragedy…

…an act of hate that has no place in this world. My thoughts are with the families of lost loved ones and the entire city of Orlando.
