Students stage 'die-in' protest

Posted

ST. PAUL, MN (WCCO/CNN) – Students staged a “die-in” Thursday by lying motionless outside the state House chamber.

About two dozen students gathered to peacefully protest gun violence.

The “die-in” comes after a House committee refused to revive two gun control bills earlier this week.

Thursday marked the deadline for policy legislation to pass through a committee in Minnesota’s legislature.

Since no gun control measures met that deadline, lawmakers are unlikely to vote on any gun control this year.
