Survivors of Friday's shooting at a Noblesville, Ind., middle school protested the National Rifle Association (NRA) recruitment tent in their hometown Saturday.

Local news outlet Fox 59 reported that the protest started when one Noblesville Middle School student was on his way to protest at the courthouse when he spotted the NRA recruitment tent outside of a gun store and decided to protest there instead.

“I made the sign and wanted to take it to a courthouse, but then I saw the NRA tent on the way,” said student Ray Kenley. Kenley is also the grandson of a former Indiana Republican state senator, Fox 59 reported.

Other parents and students made signs and joined Kenley, growing the protest to about a dozen people.

Some of the signs held by protesters read "Let us heal" and "Who's next? No! Guns!"

The protest comes one day after the shooting in Noblesville left two injured. The suspect, a student at the middle school, has been taken into custody.

Vice President Pence, previously the state's governor, tweeted that he and second lady Karen Pence Karen Sue PenceThe Hill's 12:30 Report - Presented by Facebook - Biden, Pence elbow bump at NYC Sept. 11 ceremony The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by National Industries for the Blind - Trump seeks to flip 'Rage' narrative; Dems block COVID-19 bill Pentagon, Trump, Biden to mark 9/11 anniversary MORE are "praying for the victims of the terrible shooting in Indiana."

"To everyone in the Noblesville community – you are on our hearts and in our prayers. Thanks for the swift response by Hoosier law enforcement and first responders," he tweeted Friday.

Survivors of recent school shootings, particularly those from the February shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead, have placed the NRA at the center of nationwide protests.

Most recently, Parkland survivor David Hogg staged a "die-in" to protest supermarket chain Publix's financial support for a pro-gun rights gubernatorial candidate who has closely aligned himself with the NRA.
