Some Vegas students walk out for 17 minutes over gun debate

Students at one Las Vegas high school staged a walkout to protest gun violence, despite a warning from administrators that missing class would make them ineligible for a day's after-school sports and activities.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that about 75 students gathered around the Silverado High School campus flag for 17 minutes on Wednesday to mark a Parkland, Florida, school shooting last week that left 17 dead.

The walkout in the nation's fifth-largest school district offered an early glimpse of a possible national student walkout being organized for March 14. - WRAL Las Vegas

Healing, remembering, and standing with the survivors.
