PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on the school shooting that killed 17 people in Florida (all times local): 9 a.m. An activist and teacher who wants gun control laws was removed from a Miami-area GOP fundraiser after confronting House Speaker Paul Ryan about this week's mass shooting at a Florida school. The Miami Herald reports that Maria Thorne, a Key Biscayne fifth grade teacher, said she and a friend dropped in on the fundraiser Friday at the Ritz Hotel after she noticed motorcade traffic clogging up her commute home. Thorne said she shook Ryan's hand and introduced herself but added, "You're here celebrating the death of 17 children." She said Ryan told her he "didn't want to talk politics" or argue.
