BATON ROUGE - Gov. John Bel Edwards described the victims of a mass shooting at a gay night club in Orlando as "our brothers and sisters" during a vigil with Louisiana's legislative leaders.
    
The "Moment of Unity" event, held Monday at the State Capitol, featured prayers and speeches expressing grief for the victims and their families.
    
Those assembled - including the governor, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, dozens of lawmakers and others - sang "Amazing Grace" together.
    
Forty-nine victims died in the Florida attack. More than 50 were injured.
    
Edwards read a Bible passage and said: "There is no room for terror and hate."
    
House Speaker Taylor Barras, of New Iberia, drew a correlation between the Orlando shooting and a Lafayette movie theater shooting in July that left three people dead and nine wounded.
