Thousands of students, staff members participate in walkouts

tudents at schools throughout Broward and Miami-Dade counties are organizing walkouts in support of the "Never Again" movement for more stringent gun control laws.

Local 10 News reporter Erica Rakow was at Cypress Bay High School in Weston Wednesday morning as 5,000 students and staff members participated in the walkout.

"It was pretty tragic what happened, so enough is enough. We got to make a change," one student said.

The students held signs with different messages, such as "I am fed up … We all are!" with a photo of a gun crossed out and "Bring on the politicians! We will rise!"

"We want to show support for those who lost their lives and make sure that this doesn't happen again," one student said.

From the bay, the crowd walked out onto the road and over to Vista Park, where survivors of the school shooting shared their experience. Local10 Miami-Dade
