On the sixth anniversary of the Parkland school shooting, parents and former students joined lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday for a bipartisan school safety effort.

The family of a teen murdered at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is launching a campaign where re-created voices of gun violence victims will call federal lawmakers.

Parkland parent Manuel Oliver was in Washington D.C. on Thursday to file a human rights lawsuit against the United States government.

Advocates for stricter gun laws fear that a minor change in the wording of Florida’s mandatory three-day waiting period to buy a gun would major consequences, weakening the law passed in the wake of the Parkland school shooting.

Manuel and Patricia Oliver, who lost their son Joaquin “Guac” Oliver, in the Parkland school shooting in 2018 are hitting the road Monday for Guac’s Magical Tour.

Manuel Oliver, whose 17-year-old son Joaquin was among the 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting, was arrested for protesting during a hearing Thursday in Washington, D.C.

In his home office, flanked by images of his murdered son, Joaquin, Manuel Oliver reviewed his latest firearm regulation campaign video.

Manuel Oliver continues to fight for justice after his son went to school and was murdered by a gunman who entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day 2018.

Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer sentenced the Parkland school shooter to 34 consecutive mandatory life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole. One for each of the 34 victims: 17 killed and 17 injured.

With their emotions still raw, Christopher Hixon’s widow and Joaquin Oliver’s father struggled to understand how any juror would decide that life in prison without the possibility of parole was an appropriate punishment for the perpetrator of the 2018 Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Family members of school shooting victims are sending a message to law makers, hitting the road to push for more gun control.

President Joe Biden was behind the podium Monday to tout a new law aimed at reducing gun violence -- the first major gun safety law in nearly three decades.

Two gun control advocates from Parkland, one a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting and the other the parent of a student killed, are in Washington, D.C., at the second March for Our Lives rally.

The massacre at a Texas elementary school that left at least 19 students and 2 adults dead Tuesday is hitting close to home with families and survivors of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland.

The father of a high schooler killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School climbed a 150-foot crane to send a message about gun violence to President Joe Biden.

After more than two weeks protesting outside the White House and trying to speak with President Joe Biden, Manuel Oliver met with White House senior officials on Thursday and is leaving Washington.

Manuel Oliver traveled from South Florida to Washington, D.C., about eight days ago and he has been standing in front of the White House to demand action on gun violence. Dozens of other students and parents joined the protest on Thursday.

A 17-year-old student has been arrested after the Broward Sheriff’s Office was notified about a threat on social media this week that targeted Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where 17 people were killed in a school shooting in February 2018.

If Nikolas Cruz pleads guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder, prosecutors said there would still be a penalty phase.

These were just a few of several events held across South Florida to mark the somber anniversary.

They’ve created postcards from cities across the country that have been impacted by mass shootings, as Parkland was on Feb. 14, 2018. “Communities cannot forget what happened and just pretend that it never happened before,” Manuel Oliver said. “Congress members will receive these postcards,” Manuel Oliver said.

PARKLAND, Fla. - Parkland parents boarded a bus Sunday morning bound for Tallahassee. They are protesting the possible reinstatement of former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel. Parents who lost their children in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting held a news conference last week saying they don't want Israel back as sheriff. Ron DeSantis suspended Israel as Broward County sheriff nine months ago, calling Israel's actions inadequate the day of the Parkland shooting. This week, the Florida Senate will decide whether to support the governor's decision and remove Israel from office or reinstate him.

PARKLAND, Fla. - Parkland parents boarded a bus Sunday morning bound for Tallahassee. They are protesting the possible reinstatement of former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.

Ron DeSantis suspended Israel as Broward County sheriff nine months ago, calling Israel's actions inadequate the day of the Parkland shooting. This week, the Florida Senate will decide whether to support the governor's decision and remove Israel from office or reinstate him.

PARKLAND, Fla. - The Florida Senate will soon decide whether to reinstate Scott Israel as Broward County sheriff, as recommended by a special master. The parents of some Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victims do not want Israel to get his job back. "This should not be about politics, (but) sadly Mr. Israel has made it about politics. Ron DeSantis called Israel's actions on the day of the Stoneman Douglas shooting inadequate, with parents backing up those claims. BSO failures under Mr. Israel were that deputies and detectives had numerous interactions with the shooter prior to that tragic day and did not follow through to complete further action required by BSO procedures."

EL PASO, Texas - The parents of a student killed in last year's mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, were near El Paso, Texas, on Saturday when a gunman carried out another massacre. Sunday would have been his 19th birthday, and the parents planned to unveil a mural in El Paso for the occasion, marking the 30th city with such a mural. "(Joaquin) was very concerned and upset with the treatment we were giving to immigrants when they came to this country, so El Paso was great to do that," Manuel Oliver said on Monday. But on Saturday, while they were across the US-Mexico border in Ciudad Juarez, they learned of the anti-immigrant shooting at an El Paso Walmart that left 20 people dead. "Those people that lost loved ones yesterday in Ohio, here in El Paso, need to become the voice of their loved ones."

"This is the second time that I am in a situation where there is a mass shooting close to me," Manuel Oliver said about the dreadful coincidence. During 13 hours, 29 people died in two mass shootings in the United States and Manuel and Patricia Oliver were in shock. My sincere condolences go out to the families of the victims killed in #daytonohio & praying the injured fully recover. Another senseless & horrific mass shootings of innocent persons as we still ponder & pray for the victims & families of the #elpasotexas massacre. Joaquin's parents have been lobbying for more strict gun laws in the United States.
