Bemidji Pioneer: At Red Lake, site of 2005 school shooting, walkout carries deep significance

RED LAKE -- About half of Red Lake High School’s student body and a handful of Red Lake Middle Schoolers left class Wednesday as part of a nationwide protest against gun violence in schools.

The walkout here was one of thousands, big and small, held across the country on the one-month anniversary of a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead and motivated a sustained political push for tougher gun control and school safety measures -- and it carries a deep significance in Red Lake.
