PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — At least 1,000 people attended a candlelight vigil Thursday night for the 17 people killed in a Florida school shooting, some of the mourners sobbing openly as the victims' names were read aloud. "Each name was like my heart skipped a beat," Bryan Herrera said. The 17-year old soccer player said he initially hadn't planned on attending the vigil. "I didn't think I could handle it," he said. Dressed in the school's red color, some held flowers while others wielded signs asking for action to fight school violence, including gun control. At one point during the vigil, some in the crowd began shouting, "No more guns! No more guns!" Tighe Barry held a yellow sign reading "NRA stop killing our kids.
