Students Across the Country Hold Walkouts to Protest Gun Violence
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, students across the United States-from Minnesota to Colorado
to Arizona-walked out of classes Wednesday to demand stricter gun laws.
They carried signs reading "Make us safe" and "Bring on the politicians!
We will rise!" Outside the White House, hundreds of students from
Washington, D.C.-area high schools rallied and staged a sit-in protest.
