Students across Southwest Florida are walking out of class today in protest against gun violence.

The walk outs are in response to the recent shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 students and faculty were shot dead.

The suspect, Nikolas Cruz, 19, is accused of being responsible for the attack. Cruz was reportedly armed with a legally purchased semi-automatic rifle and had multiple magazines.
