Phoenixville students stage walkout to demand action on gun control

PHOENIXVILLE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Students in Chester County, Pennsylvania are demanding action on gun control.

Chopper 6 was over Phoenixville Area High School and Middle Schools Wednesday at around 12 p.m. as students walked out of the classroom to have their voices heard.

The protest comes just over a week after an 18-year-old in Uvalde, Texas walked into an elementary school and killed 19 students and two teachers.
