Watch: Returned Missionary Creates Hauntingly Beautiful Song About Deadly Shooting

LDS returned missionary Ben Reneer served his mission in Orlando, Florida. When the June 2016 terrorist attack killed 49 at a nightclub in his mission city, the news hit close to home for Reneer. Following the attack, Reneer wrote the song "Orange Avenue" to capture the emotions of that tragic event that he posted in August of this year. But, after the recent shooting in Las Vegas and the devastating floods, hurricanes, and fires experienced this year, Reneer's song remains just as applicable today.
