Staff Writers<\/em><\/p>\n This is a recap of the school shooting that took place on 14 February 2018. Around 2:21 p.m. the shooter entered the school and pulled the fire alarm, when the students left the classrooms the shooter began to open fire. The former high school student killed 17 people and injured at least 14, students and staff included.\u00a0The principle stated, “This has been a day where we’ve seen the worst of humanity. Tomorrow is gonna bring out the best in humanity, as we come together to move forward from this unspeakable tragedy.”<\/p>\n After the tragedy occurred, the students came together to demand a change. They were able to plan two events; the National School Walkout on March 14 and the March for Our Lives on March 24. A student survivor had this to say, \u201cWe\u2019re marching because it\u2019s not just schools. It\u2019s movie theaters, it\u2019s concerts, it\u2019s nightclubs. This kind of stuff can\u2019t just happen. You know, we are marching for our lives, we\u2019re marching for the 17 lives we lost. And we\u2019re marching for our children\u2019s lives and our children\u2019s children and their children.\u201d Both the events will be focused on calling Congress to act on gun violence. Throughout the following weeks, speeches by students who survived the shooting took place and went viral around the Nation. This horrific event has effected many children’s lives and they are refusing to put up with it any longer.<\/p>\n It\u2019s typical after mass shootings for there to be renewed calls for action around guns and gun violence, but it seems to go nowhere. These students and families are hoping that with their actions, it will be different this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lynn Shabluk and Ciana Verdusco 18′ Staff Writers This is a recap of the school shooting that took place on 14 February 2018.
