A high school student in the southeastern U.S. state of Florida shot and wounded a classmate Friday, the same day thousands of students across the country walked out of class to mark a high school massacre that occurred nearly two decades ago.

Friday's shooting took place at Forest High School in Ocala, Florida and the Marion County Sheriff's Department said the suspected shooter is in custody.

The nationwide walkout was organized by students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 students and staff members were killed by a former student on February 14.

The Parkland massacre triggered a national grassroots campaign for more restrictive gun control laws that included recent marches in Washington and in other cities and towns throughout the United States.

Washington area high school students rallied at the White House before marching on Capitol Hill to demand action from lawmakers.

They joined students from more than 2,600 high schools and other institutions across the country who walked out of class, many wearing orange - a color that has come to represent the gun control movement.

Friday's activities were in commemoration of the April 20, 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in the western state of Colorado, when two students roamed the school, killing 12 of their classmates and a teacher before committing suicide.

Gun rights supporters held counter-demonstrations in some locations. The Associated Press reported that about 200 people rallied outside the Kansas state capitol in Topeka, and about 30 pro-gun protesters showed up outside the New Hampshire state house in Concord.美國東南部佛羅里達州的一名高中生星期五開槍打傷了一名同學。同一天,全美各地學生走出教室,紀念近20年前發生的一起高中屠殺案的週年日。

星期五的槍擊事件發生在佛州奧卡拉的森林高中。馬里昂郡治安官辦公室說,嫌疑人已被羈押。

全國範圍的罷課活動是由佛羅里達州帕克蘭的瑪喬裏·斯通曼高中的學生組織的。2月14日,一名前學生在這所高中開槍行兇,打死了17名學生和教職員。

帕克蘭槍擊慘案在全國範圍激起了要求制定更嚴格的控槍法律的草根運動,華盛頓和全美各地其它城鎮最近都有遊行活動。

星期五,華盛頓地區的高中生在白宮集會,隨後遊行走向國會山,要求議員們採取行動。

全美各地有2600多所學校和其它機構的學生走出了教室,有些人身穿桔黃色服裝,這一顏色已成爲控槍運動的象徵。

星期五的活動是爲了紀念發生在1999年4月20日的科倫拜校園屠殺案。這起慘案發生在美國西部科羅拉多州的科倫拜高中,當時,兩名學生在學校四處行兇,打死了12名同學和一名教師,隨後自殺。

支持擁槍權的一些人士在一些地方舉行了針鋒相對的示威。美聯社報道說,大約200人在堪薩斯州首府託皮卡的州議會外集會。在新罕布什爾州首府康科德,也有大約30名擁槍抗議者出現在州議會外。
