INDIANAPOLIS -- Religious community leaders from around Indianapolis gathered Thursday to pay tribute to the victims of the mass shooting in Orlando.

The ceremony included lighting candles to represent each victim of the attack.

Their names were read and the church bell rang.

Faith leaders were also turning their attention to lawmakers and possible new gun control measures.

Each person at the service was asked to fill out pledge cards that they would contact their legislators to pass laws that would restrict access to military-style automatic weapons.
