The weekend's tragedy in Orlando brought to light the urgent need for blood donations, as more than 50 wounded victims were rushed to hospitals for treatment after a gunman opened fire at a popular night club. Fifty, including the shooter, were killed. While statistics regarding local response to the need for blood were not available Tuesday, Kristen C. Stancil, regional external communications manager for the American Red Cross, said the outpouring of support in South Georgia was "generous."
