Students Say #Enough After School Shooting In Florida
ResumeA week ago, a school shooting in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people. President Trump is meeting with some of the Florida students, teachers and parents directly affected by the tragedy. The White House says the president is holding a "listening session" to determine how to improve school safety.
Around the country, students and others are mobilizing over this. Thousands of people are expected to attend walkouts and marches that are planned around the country — including here in Massachusetts.
We hear from some local student as well as lawmakers and business leaders on the growing momentum around gun control reform.
