A mother and child pay respects as visitors continue to flock to the roadside memorial at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., June 29. Forty-nine people were shot and killed after a gunman entered the nightclub June 12.
Sara Brady of the OnePulseFoundation said in a statement Monday that a bogus Instagram posting from the day before that had announced the memorial has been taken down.
The foundation was set up to help raise funds for the victims of the June 12 attack. Some 49 people were killed and 53 injured.
Gunman Omar Mateen was killed in a shooting with police at the nightclub.
