As the fierce debate rages on over how and if the Texas school shooting could have been prevented, local communities in Connecticut are coming together to honor the victims.
A vigil was held on the town green in Norwalk Wednesday for the victims of the shooting.
Parents in Norwalk say they are feeling a bitter pain of yet another senseless shooting in this country.
Just one week ago, this community gathered after the racially motivated shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York killed people.
Residents were emotional when they spoke of demanding change. They want stronger background checks and the outright ban of assault-style weapons.
Connecticut schools had heightened security Wednesday, and Mayor Harry Rilling announced a plan to have a police officer at every school in the city until the end of the school year, after many parents reached out with concerns about safety.
