Students Take Part In Walkout

Some area high school students took part in 17-minute walkouts Wednesday morning protesting gun violence.  They took part in a nationwide call to honor the 17 students killed in a shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school and demand stricter gun laws.  A large number of students took part at Hood River Valley High School, gathering near the flagpole at the school’s front entrance.  Hood River County School District Superintendent Dan Goldman estimated about two-thirds of the students at the school took part, noting everything was orderly and students returned to classes after it was over. White Salmon Valley School District Superintendent Jerry Lewis said about 100 students at Columbia High School walked out, adding the event was very peaceful and orderly.
