LANSING, Mich. — For the second time since their campus became the scene of a deadly mass shooting this week, students from Michigan State University gathered Friday evening at the Michigan Capitol to call on legislators to pass gun control laws that may prevent others from experiencing similar tragedies.
Dozens of students rallied together in front of the Capitol steps holding signs calling for action and wearing MSU apparel. Parents, politicians, and other community members joined in support as well.
Several students, in their teens and early twenties, spoke through tears and sniffles as their peers sat crouched on the cement as if in the midst of the countless lockdown drills they've participated in throughout the years, with their arms locked together in solidarity with each other.
