Panic at March for Our Lives rally in Washington DC as man shouting about guns tries to storm stage during silence

June 12, 2022

AN anti-gun protest descended into chaos after a man appeared to storm the stage during a moment of silence marking the Uvalde, Texas school shooting. The man allegedly threw an object into the crowd at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington DC and screamed "I am the gun," as he was detained. Speakers on the stage later assured the crowd that the man was not armed and they were not in danger. According to the National Park Service, at least 50,000 people were expected to attend the event. The movement's first demonstration occurred in Washington DC on March 24, 2018, following the deadly school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
