High School students in Clark County joined students around the country in a walkout protest Wednesday to demand tougher gun laws in the country, and honor victims of last month’s mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Protests took place at more than a dozen Clark County high schools and UNLV.
Las Vegas Academy student Tanya Abarico told KNPR that the protest was not intended to be a rebellion against their school.
