Students around the country walked out of their schools as a sign of protest against gun violence and the current gun laws on Wednesday, March 14. Some schools allowed students to walk out, while others threatened to take disciplinary action on students who participated.
I went out to Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ to capture the seventeen-minute protest.
