To come and pay their respects. we have learned from the broward county public schools that they are expecting staff to come back into this building at the end of the week. alisyn is, you can only imagine how emotional thats going to be for those staff and those teachers to come back to the site of this massacre. >> rosa, we just heard from the students who say it is going to be very emotional, obviously, for them as well. but they are determined to march in there as soon as school opens because...

Your job is to protect us. and our blood is on your hands. >> those are just some of the students who survived that school massacre in parkland, florida. they are demanding change and taking their message to washington, d.c. march 24th for what they hope will be a giant protest and march of students fed up with school shootings. joining us to discuss that is democratic congressman jim himes of connecticut. >> good morning, alisyn. >> students couldnt say it any better. when you hear what senator...

Different stphou. >> it does feel different to me. and something i think is potentially game changing about this tragedy is the failure of what i will describe as data integration. and you have been reporting on so much of this. the bail bondsman who last january made that phone call, a nexus search says there were only 22 individuals with the same name as the shooter. couldnt they run down the 22? cnn reporting that 39 times law enforcement responded to that address. the investigation by the lo...

Friends and their family, it is inspiring. wish we did not have to be inspired in this way this morning. so many of the students who survived this attack and their parents, they want to try to turn this grief, this anger into action. theyre calling on the president, on congress, on society to do something. so far there has been nothing. after so many of these shootings, lawmakers advocated no real debate. president trump didnt mention the word gun. no mention of guns as he addressed the nation. ...
