Students from Wheat Ridge High School joined middle schoolers Friday in the latest walkouts to protest gun violence.
—
Students across Jefferson County walked out of class and protested on Friday to advocate against gun violence and show solidarity with students at Evergreen High School, after a shooting this week at Evergreen High School left three injured and a shooter dead.
Hundreds of students from Wheat Ridge High School and Everitt Middle School walked out of class in the morning, marching to the busy intersection of 38th Avenue and Kipling Street. They lined the streets waving placards that read things like “26 years since Columbine. What’s Changed?” “Books Belong In Schools, Not Bullets,” and “Dead Kids Can’t Learn.”
