Uvalde students walkout to protest gun violence: 'I'm scared of dying every day'
Uvalde students staged a walkout to protest gun violence. Students of the Uvalde Independent Consolidated School District staged a walkout on Wednesday to protest gun violence, acknowledging the 19 elementary school children and two teachers who were killed after the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, last May. Uvalde students said they took inspiration from students in Nashville, Tennessee, who conducted a massive walkout on Monday related to The Covenant School shooting, which left three children and three faculty members dead. That walkout has led to days of peaceful protest ing at the Tennessee state house. Students gathered on the lawn inside the fences of the school, which were put up after the shooting and soon started making their way toward the perimeter.
