“They don't get what we went through yesterday. They don't get what it's like to have to run for your life,” said a student at the Colorado high school where two shooters killed a student and injured nine others.
Students and parents left a vigil in Colorado for the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting victim and survivors on Wednesday after speakers began talking about gun control instead of focusing on the students' trauma and the victims.
But a large group of students from the STEM high school left after speakers focused on gun control policy, according to news outlet KUSA. Many students later returned to share their memories of Castillo and express their discontent at how the memorial had been organized. Students told Colorado Public Radio that they did not want the vigil to focus on politics and didn't want Castillo to be turned into a political"prop." Twitter videos from Jenny Brundin, an education reporter at Colorado Public Radio, showed STEM students chanting"mental health."
The Brady Campaign, a gun control advocacy nonprofit, helped organize the event, and responded to criticism from attendees unhappy with speakers who focused on policy matters.
