Florida Shooting Response - Sam Wood 2-20-18

There was a terrible school shooting that occurred at Stonemason Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. 17 people were killed. 15 of them were students and 2 were faculty. Nikolas Cruz was the confirmed shooter who was a former student of the school. The police are trying to figure out the motive for the shooting. Afterwards, there was an enormous response. Lawmakers in Florida rejected a bill to ban assault rifles in the state. Many students from the school drove down to the capital to try to make the government rethink gun control.







I am praying for all of the families of the people killed and injured in the shooting. I am glad that students are raising awareness on gun control laws. I am interested to see if any results will happen after the students go to the capital. I hope the students will be successful and achieve their goal.
