MIAMI — Thousands of people are gathering in Parkland and across the country on Saturday to rally against gun violence.
“Most people say they want assault weapons for protection, but those weapons are used for mass shootings,” Broward School Board member Debra Hixon told the crowd in Parkland. “They killed my husband, Chris, along with other students within seconds. We deserve better.“
More than four years after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, where Chris Hixon was athletic director, and just two weeks after the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the March for Our Lives rallies are calling for measures against gun violence.
