Gallery: Syracuse students protest gun violence at March for Our Lives rally

UPDATED: March 25, 2018 at 8:54 p.m.

Hundreds of Syracuse residents filled city streets in the downtown area on Saturday afternoon as part of the national March for Our Lives movement against gun violence. Hundreds of thousands of people packed together in Washington, D.C. for the movement’s central protest.

The event was spurred by a deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that left 17 people dead in mid-February.
