By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada

Niagara Falls will be lit orange Tuesday night in memory of the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York.



Both the American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls will be illuminated in an orange glow from 11 p.m. to midnight .Orange was chosen as a colour associated with the prevention of gun violence.



The shooting took place at Tops Friendly Market in the 1200 block of Jefferson Avenue in the state’s second-largest city, in a predominantly black neighbourhood that authorities believe the suspect had specifically targeted by an 18-year-old self-declared white supremist.



Among the victims was a man buying a cake for his grandson, a church deacon who helped people get their groceries home and a supermarket security guard.
