'This was not a vigil. This was a political stunt.'
Survivors of the shooting at the charter school in Colorado that killed one student and injured eight others stormed out of a community vigil Wednesday, calling it a"political stunt."
Instead, several speakers — including Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Michael Bennet, Democratic Rep. Jason Crow, and a Moms Demand Action volunteer, Laura Reeves — addressed the need for gun control legislation. However, an organizer of the event told the crowd that they hadn't been able to connect with any STEM students to speak at the vigil.
