Good morning. It's Monday, June 12. Puerto Ricans overwhelmingly supported a quest to become the 51st state in a referendum Sunday, with Congress ultimately having the final say on the issue.

Closer to home, a remembrance was held at 2:02 a.m. this morning to honor the 49 victims killed in the Pulse nightclub tragedy one year ago today.
