MILWAUKEE – Rufus King High School students planned a walkout at 2:45 Friday afternoon in protest to Milwaukee’s gun violence.
The students wore red to support the cause and marched to the football field for a press conference.
The protest happened after five people were left injured in a shooting that occurred in front of the high school Tuesday night over a social media dispute. Police say a 34-year-old Milwaukee man fired his gun as students gathered to watch the physical altercation.
The suspect is in custody.
