Peter Wang, honored as a member of the 2025 West Point class, was just 15 when he was killed in the 2018 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Parkland student-turned-activist David Hogg is helping launch an organization aimed at ensuring young people have an "inside game" in U.S. politics.
Scot Peterson was the only armed school resource officer at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when the shooting started.
Judge Elizabeth Scherer should be publicly reprimanded for showing bias toward the prosecution, a state commission concluded.
Also, in response to the Uvalde shooting, a bill is pending in Texas that would let schools offer stipends of up to $25,000 to staffers who also become armed campus "sentinels."
The vote came in the wake of the uproar after Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz got a life sentence because the jury couldn't agree unanimously on sentencing him to death.
On Feb. 14, 2018, a gunman murdered 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. The co-founder of March for Our Lives talks about his life since, including death threats against himself and his family.
Preview: In an interview airing February 12 on "CBS Sunday Morning," the co-founder of the advocacy group March For Our Lives said, "We came out and we literally said, 'Never again.' … Obviously, that didn't work."
Those who spoke went to a lectern about 20 feet from the 24-year-old gunman, stared him in the eye and let out their anger and grief.
After the victims' families and the 17 people the gunman wounded get their chance to speak, Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer will formally sentence him to life in prison without parole.
Prosecutor Carolyn McCann said during a brief hearing that they are not trying to invalidate Thursday's jury vote.
The jury foreman said the jurors were divided.
"The monster's going to go to prison and in prison, I'll hope and pray he receives the kind of mercy from prisoners that he showed to my daughter and the 16 others," said Parkland father and activist Fred Guttenberg.
The gunman killed 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.
The jury, which will be sequestered starting Wednesday, will decide if the gunman will get a death sentence or life behind bars.
The jury will likely decide his fate this week. For the 24-year-old to get a death sentence, the jury must be unanimous on at least one victim.
The motion, filed on Friday, alleged that the judge revealed longstanding animosity toward the defense that threatened the fairness of the trial.
Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer called the decision without warning to her or the prosecution "the most uncalled for, unprofessional way to try a case."
The shooter's attorneys argued that showing the Nazi symbol violates his right to a fair trial because there is no evidence that the massacre was driven by bigotry.
It was the second day of testimony for the defense in the trial.
"We must understand the person behind the crime," attorney Melisa McNeill told the jury.
Called a "quantitative electroencephalogram" or "qEEG," its backers say it provides useful support to such diagnoses as fetal alcohol syndrome, which Cruz's attorneys contend created his lifelong mental and emotional problems.
Twelve jurors and 10 alternates who will decide whether Cruz gets the death penalty or life in prison made a rare visit to the massacre scene.
