Children held signs reading 'I'm nine' - a reference to the age of the three kids who died in Monday's attack.
Protesters gather inside the Tennessee State Capitol to call for an end to gun violence and support stronger gun laws in Nashville, Tennessee. In Washington D.C., Republicans showed little appetite to pass more gun restrictions. Rep. Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican who represents the Knoxville area, said Congress isn't going to fix the problems that led to Monday's shooting.
"Just two days ago was our city's worst day," Mayor John Cooper said."I so wish we weren't here, but we need to be here." "I know what it's like to be a parent - what it feels like, like you're drowning and can't move, and that weakness and that hole that comes in your stomach," she said.
