Utahns can hear from Parkland high school shooting survivors this weekend

They survived the mass shooting that reignited the national outcry for gun restrictions, and now they’re coming to Utah.

Some of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who survived the shooting that left 17 people dead in February are on a nationwide tour that makes its way to South Jordan on Saturday.

David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez, Cameron Kasky, Jaclyn Corin and others will host a town hall put on by March for Our Lives SLC, the state’s chapter of what has become a national movement focused on guns and protecting students.

“This event is supposed to be a dialogue,” said Elizabeth Love, an executive organizer with the group.
