DENVER — Colorado lawmakers and Denver school board members gathered Wednesday evening to address gun violence in schools. 

A community meeting, at Knight Center for Early Education, generated feedback on how decision makers can help stop the violence.

The town hall-style meeting started with a moment of silence for those impacted by the STEM school shooting. Soon after, students were invited to speak.

“Going to school afraid that something bad is going to happen shouldn’t be a worry to students,” a 17-year-old South High School student told the crowd.

The students served as powerful examples of where we are as a society that sees far too many school shootings.
