The Latest: Hundreds of Aztec students gather for 'walk-up'

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Hundreds of students at a New Mexico high school still reeling from a deadly shooting in December gathered Wednesday to remember the 21 students who have died in school shootings across the U.S. in recent months, including two of their own. Student leaders at Aztec High School had asked administrators for time to "walk up" rather than walk out. Many students donned the school colors and one held a sign that read "Time for Change." Jesse Smith was among the crowd. The 17-year-old senior said the event was not about protesting for gun safety but rather for honoring the students who have died and setting the stage for what he called a positive movement. Part of that movement at Aztec includes 21 pledges that range from taking the time to make new friends and including students who are alone to talking with family and writing to congressional representatives.
