The visits coincide with the shooting's nine-year mark. The city of Orlando plans to erect a permanent memorial for the victims after the Pulse nightclub building is torn down.

Survivors and family members of the Pulse nightclub massacre nine years ago are getting a chance to walk through the long-shuttered, gay-friendly venue this week.

Orlando's Pulse nightclub briefly will open for private tours to remember the massacre that occurred there ahead of the building's razing and replacement by a permanent memorial.
