THE mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Feb 14 this year, where 17 students and teachers died, shocked the United States and the world. It is the third deadliest school shooting in US history, after Virginia Tech in 2007 (33 deaths) and Sandy Hooks in 2012 (28 deaths).
But something happened after the incident. Students from the school, many of them still traumatised by the massacre allegedly perpetrated by an ex-student, spoke to the media and demanded action.
