ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – The Latest on the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida (all times local):

10:20 a.m.

Officials are changing the method of getting money to the survivors and relatives of victims of the Orlando gay nightclub shooting.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said in a news conference Friday morning that money from the OneOrlando fund will be distributed directly to the survives and relatives. Previously, officials had said money would be filtered through nonprofit agencies.

Dyer said that as of Friday morning, the fund has raised $7 million. He says 94 families and 256 individuals have visited the city’s assistance center since it opened after a gunman entered the Pulse nightclub and started shooting early Sunday morning.
