Rainy weather did not dissuade an estimated 1,000 students and other members of the community to march in solidarity with the victims of last month’s school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

Demonstrations began at 1 p.m. at Hough Elementary School at 1900 N.W. Daniels St., and at the O.O. Howard House, where Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler’s office is located, at 750 Anderson St., and started marching toward Esther Short Park at about 1:30 p.m.

Marchers coming from the O.O. Howard House chanted, “What do we want? Gun control! When do we want it? Now!” Others are chanting, “Not one more!” and “Enough is enough!”

Marchers coming from Hough Elementary picked up a different chant: “Hey hey! Ho ho! The NRA has got to go!”

Recent postings on social media had raised the possibility that counter-protesters, possibly armed, might show up in response to the march. None were seen in the area after marchers arrived at Esther Short Park.
