Authorities on Thursday detained Parkland father Manuel Oliver, who was attending a committee hearing in Washington, D.C., on gun rights, according to U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, who shared footage of the encounter on Twitter.
Oliver, whose son Joaquin was shot and killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High mass shooting five years ago, spoke out and was accused of interrupting a committee hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee, called “ATF’s Assault on the Second Amendment: When is Enough Enough?” according to video of the hearing.
“You took my son away from me,” Oliver’s wife, Patricia Oliver, said at one point in the meeting.
