Hundreds of Arizona students started their day Wednesday by walking out of class to hold demonstrations on campus as part of National Walkout Day. They gathered to honor the 17 victims killed last month in a shooting in a Florida high school and call for an end to gun violence in America.
About 45 students in white T-shirts ended the day with a sit-in at Gov. Doug Ducey’s office, demanding to speak to him about gun violence in school and chanting “Shame on Ducey.”
Ducey did not make an appearance and a democratic state lawmaker convinced the students to leave peacefully after about two hours.
