FREEMAN, Wash. – Just months after a sophomore opened fired in the halls of Freeman High School, students walked out as part of a national protest against gun violence in schools.
A note from the school showed students planned to hold 18 moments of silence. Seventeen of those moments would be for the people killed in the recent Parkland, Florida shooting, and one moment would be for Sam Strahan, the student killed in the shooting at Freeman.
Thousands of students marched across the country and around the Inland Northwest.
