Students and their parents converged on Tennessee's State Capitol as lawmakers held their first session following Monday's deadly school shooting.
Hundreds of parents and students gathered at the State Capitol Thursday morning demanding stronger gun laws.
They were expected to sing to Tennessee elected officials and lift their signs, letting them know they want common-sense gun laws. "Thoughts and prayers are not enough. And if this is not a wake-up call, I do not know what is," said one student.
