Students from Boulder County participate in a national walkout on Friday, expressing their concerns about gun violence in schools as they march to raise awareness. Around 125 students from New Vista High School led the demonstration, making poignant statements about the urgency of enacting national gun safety laws in response to recent shootings, such as the tragic incident at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that left two students dead.
