LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Landmarks around the world donned rainbow colors in solidarity with the victims killed in a mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub.

In Los Angeles, the lights atop the U.S. Bank building were changed to reflect the rainbow, while the pylons at Los Angeles International Airport flashed intermittently, a change that had already been made in honor of LGBT Month.
