Students talked about the fear they feel heading into the new school year after two mass shootings killed 29 people in both El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
"The impact of this kind of mass violence extends much farther than the victims and their families. It's fundamentally changed our relationship with violence," said Emily Ambory, Director of Colorado's March for our Lives group.
