The New York Nets held a moment of silence Monday night in memory of the seven children who were tragically killed in a Friday night fire in Midwood, Brooklyn.
At around 7:30PM, the lights were dimmed at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and an announcer asked everyone to please be stand up and remain silent as the names of the seven child victims were named.
The reading was then followed by the National Anthem.
People in the stadium tell Breaking911 that people were visibly emotional as the announcer read each name slowly.
The young victims were part of a close-knit Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Three of the children were girls: Eliane, 16, Rivkah, 11 and Sara, 6. Four were boys: David, 12, Yeshua, 10, Moshe, 8 and Yaakov, 5.
They were buried in Jerusalem on Monday following the funeral in Brooklyn on Sunday.
