Over a hundred students poured out of Daniel Webster Elementary School on Wednesday morning to call for peace in West Garfield Park after a Memorial Day weekend shootout left several people seriously wounded in front of their school.
“We should, as a collective, put down the guns,” 14-year-old Hailee Weeks said outside the school. “If you could put the guns down and think about if that was your child or if that was yourself, then I think more people would understand that it is more important to put it down and talk with your voice.”
