The Xi Iota chapter of the Alpa Phi Alpha fraternity will be holding a candlelight vigil tonight at 7:06 p.m. at the UCF Reflection Pond in honor of the nine murdered in the Charleston church shooting.

The entire UCF student body as well as community leaders are invited.

South Carolina State Senator Clementa Pinckney, the pastor who was shot by Dylann Roof Wednesday night, was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at Allen University.

Pieter Hanson, a UCF student, was only a block away from the shooting when it happened. He and a group of friends were there for the Orlando City game Wednesday night, and told his story to Local 6, in the video, below.
