The owners of Bounce Nightclub Hinge Lounge in Cleveland say their thoughts are with the families who lost loves ones in a mass in a mass shooting at an Orlando gay bar early Sunday. 

A gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside Pulse Orlando, killing at least 50 people before dying in a gunfight with SWAT officers, police said. It was the worst mass shooting in American history.

Bounce Nightclub posted the following statement to their Facebook page Sunday: 

As we watch this tragedy unfold in Orlando, it is with heavy hearts that Bounce ownership feels compelled to issue a statement.
Our deepest condolences go out to all the victims families and other loved ones. Not only are those our brothers and sisters in industry but also community. The ripples of such a senseless act are surely felt this many miles away.
While too soon for any of us to truly comprehend what happened last night, it is in the sincerest manner that we offer up whatever we can to those at Pulse and in the Orlando community. We know not what it is we can offer other than to stand together against those that wish harm upon others. However, if there is any semblance of support needed, we will most assuredly be there for our extended family in Orlando.
Again, our hearts and thoughts go out to all those directly affected by this tragedy.
Sincerely,
The Bounce Family
