Massive student protest against US military violence

washington - In the United States, students have protested massively against firearm violence. At many schools across the country, the classes were shut down for seventeen minutes on Wednesday. Pupils and teachers left the classrooms to commemorate the seventeen deaths of the shooting at a school in Parkland last month.

Children and adults also came together to protest at the White House in Washington. They turned to the NRA weapon lobby with banners and addressed chants with the cry 'We want change. '

In Parkland, where a 19-year-old former student shot fourteen students and three adults at Marjory Stoneman's Douglas High School on 14 February, students came together on a sports field. Soon after the massacre a noisy protest movement was formed.
