One week after a student shot another student at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in southeast Dallas, students held an assembly on school safety.

A pep rally inside the school was meant to raise spirits.The event began with an apology from a teacher to the students about last week's shooting.One student was shot in the leg and the suspect, 17-year-old Ja’Kerian Rhodes-Ewing, is facing charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a weapon in a prohibited place.At this point, we still don't have answers about how the weapon made it through security in the first place.

Us students have been protesting for better safety for our school and other schools. The district has tried to make things better, but us as students are still afraid to come to school," said junior Jazlin Voicio.After hearing from school administrators as well as alumni, the pep rally ended with the students walking out in a show of unity and solidarity.This pep rally served as a kind of a palette cleanser before standardized STAAR testing begins next week.
