The Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando Florida became the deadliest mass shooting by a single shooter in the United States at the time and a profound attack on the marginalized community of LGBTQ. After a crisis social media can serve as a space for sharing emotions and making sense of tragedy. We conducted a thematic analysis to examine Twitter reaction to the Pulse Night Club shooting. In illuminating two themes of Unification and Division, we make connections between post-crisis social media narrative messaging and crisis narratives, as well as propose the addition of fractured narratives to the typology within contemporary digital culture
