that's why they have been so inspired by these students from parkland. i saw it with my own eyes last sunday. a few of the stoneman douglas survivors came to visit new jersey, and my constituents came out in droves to support them. together with the jewish federation of greater metro west and moms demand action, we rallied well over 2,000 people in support of their never again movement. now, what's remarkably refreshing about these students is that they are not yet jaded by the ways of washington. they have spent their lives practicing active shooter drills. they have grown up being told that mass shootings are just a fact of life. but they know that they deserve better. after being thrust into a tragedy, they have turned their mourning into a movement. by speaking out, the students of parkland have pricked the conscience of this country, and the american people are answering their call to action. we see at rallies across the country calling for tougher, smarter commonsense gun safety laws. we see it in students across america organizing the march for ou

. —— parkland, florida. in the great litany of american school shootings, which have caused so much death and destruction down the years, this will go down as one of the worst. so far, 15 believed to have been killed, but that figure may change. we were hearing earlier on that there were multiple deaths. some reports suggesting it could be a death toll of 16. but we can talk 110w death toll of 16. but we can talk now to patricia silbaran who is in florida. what more can you tell us? according to local media reports, there are at least 16 people dead from the results of this incident, this attack, that took place in florida about two hours ago. i have spoken to one of the students who was at the school. she had to evacuate. but unfortunately her best friend got shot, according to what she said to me, and this is the scene we've been seeing so far outside of the school. right now, the students are meeting their pa rents the students are meeting their parents at a hotel. the police are blocking all of the roads

and it wasn't only parents who lost sons and daughters in parkland, florida, there were families from newtown, columbine. students who lost friends, saying time is frozen, along with the pain. the president listening as parent after parent asked the president to do something. one father asking the president, how many schools, how many children have to get shot? the four saying, it stops here with this administration. abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl leading us off. >> reporter: for nearly an hour, the president sat, mostly silent, listening to the horrific first-hand accounts of senseless violence. justin gruber was hiding in a closet and texting his father as his classmates were gun downed in parkland, florida. >> i was born into a world where i never got to experience safety and peace. there needs to be significant change in this country, because this has to never happen again and people should be able to feel that when they go to school, they can be safe. >> reporter: his father begging the president to do something. >> it is not political. it is a human issue. p

this is in the small town of parkland. the broward school district is the sixth largest in the nation, and the superintendent is the first told us multiple people are dead inside the school. at this moment, we still do not know how many. trace gallagher with new information. >> as we watch nicholas cruz being taken from the hospital to the jail, we are getting more reports about him. apparently he was a member, former member of the u.s. army jr. reserve witches and officers training program for young people and fellow students apparently said over and over again he was obsessed with guns. he had numerous pictures of guns on his cell phone and he would show them to various students and say he would shoot guns because it gave him an exhilarating feeling. former teacher, current teacher at the high school tells the "miami herald" that cruz apparently was told he was not allowed to come back on campus with a backpack because apparently had made some kind of threats against students. this was last year. police say he is a forme

two here in parkland. two in coral springs. we'll continue to provide those tomorrow and the next day as necessary. again, the school is closed from now throughout the weekend. we'll be spending the next couple of days figuring out what the path is to reopen the scho school. and what type of logistical challenges we're going to have relative to what's occurred in building 12 on this site. once that information becomes available, we will be providing it out to the parents and the families in the community and the media as well. again, thank you for respecting our families. give them the space and time -- >> you're listen to superintendent runcie of the broward county public school district right there. asking for privacy and talking about how they are providing counseling to so many families who have been through absolute tragedy in the past 24 hours. you're watching fox 29 news hello, peco. hi. can you help me save on my energy bill? old appliances. like a hot water heater? it's around here somewhere. nope. nope. what is this t

tammy leitner in parkland, florida, with us this afternoon. >>> joining us now, the mayor of parkland, florida, of that town of 31,000 where this attack took place. thank you for taking the time to be with us this afternoon. i want to start by asking you as a mother what these last few days have been like. i know you have two sons, that you're on the ptsa there at douglas high school and i'm sure those conversations centered on comforting your children and figuring out how to move on from all of this. how much of those can conversations that you've had as a family centered on policy at this point, christine? >> my focus, even as a mother right now, has been on helping the families and making sure that the resources are getting to the people who need them right now. we have many families suffering, many students who have seen things that no one should have to see. they all need our help right now. that has been my focus. >> give us a sense here of what these last few days have been like you as you've undertaken doing all that, making sure that everything that needs to happen is happeni

parkland is a beautiful, safe town. and it's now ruined. >> shepard: as the students from parkland made their way to tallahassee, lawmakers in florida voted down a measure to stop people from buying assault weapons like the one that investigators say the gunman used in parkland. it didn't even come up for a vote in the state house. but in no way has that outcome hindered the demonstrations. this is kentucky where students are chanting "no more guns" as they walked out of classes today. they did this for 17 minutes. one minute for every one that died in parkland. similar scene in minneapolis at a high school where students walked out there. they marched to the city hall chanting no guns in our schools. and in our nation's capitol. "your hand, our blood" they chanted. students on capitol hill trying to send their own message and outside the white house, students holding another lie-in. a nod to all those killed by gun violence. demonstrators are still out even as schools close or get ready to dismiss. students screaming f

the law has failed us and has let the events in parkland to occur. what we must do now is enact change because that is what we do to things that fail, we change them. to not change the law in our time of need would be a huge disservice to 17 dead in parkland, the 13 dead in columbine, the 26 dead in sandy hook, the 50 dead in orlando, the 59 dead in las vegas. for the good of the students, the parents, the family and the country, we beg for common sense laws that would prevent a terrorist, because that's what he is, a terrorist who invoked terror upon students and everyone upon the nation, to prevent someone like him from ever holding a gun ever again. on that fateful day of the douglas massacre, we lost our future. in those lives lost lays the future of our country. on that fateful day we lost peter wang, a jrotc member and hero. he was seen holding the door open for other students to enter for safety. on that fateful day we lost coach feis, a football coach, security guard, hero and role model to his child. he was seen sacrificing his life so anoth

and senator raider from parkland who came here. there is one thing i want everybody to remember today about this, we are just kids. i know myself, i'm only 16, i'm a junior in high school. most of my worries are what show am i going to watch at 6:00 p.m. when do i do my homework. how do i fit in rehearsals for theater? i know for my other colleagues it's sports or maybe film. but everybody needs to remember we are just children a lot of people think that disqualifies us. as if we have been through a traumatic experience that we don't know here with talking about and speaking irrationally. i want everybody to remember that is not the case. we, more than anybody else understand the violence that comes through certain guns. we more than anybody understand what it feels like to lose somebody. we understanding to have a beautiful community like parkland and have it taken away from us by the media and everyone else and nikolas cruz who just ruined its image. parkland is a beautiful, safe town. and it is now ruined. i know personally i'm
