While middle- and high school students across the country walked out of class in support of stricter gun control laws, over 700 Bonita High School students chose to use Wednesday’s nationwide event to memorialize the victims of school shootings.
The demonstration took place at 10 a.m. Wednesday, on school grounds, and was part of a nationwide effort largely organized by Women’s March Youth Empower, an organization that encourages political change in communities and creates toolkits for event organizers.
Approximately 15 Bonita High School students were hospitalized after ingesting an unknown substance Thursday
afternoon, according to La Verne Police Lt. Tom Frayeh.
