DENVER — As 16-year-old Luis Garcia continues to fight for his life after being shot near Denver East High School over a week ago, a group of his friends spoke out at a Denver City Council meeting Tuesday, demanding for more school safety measures.
Ortega, who is running for mayor, says it's, at the very least, a topic city and school officials need to address. According to school data, during last school year, 200 weapons, including 13 guns and 28 fake guns, were found on DPS property, which is five times the number of weapons found during the 2018-2019 school year.
