The rally served as a peaceful protest to the lack of action by the United States Congress in dealing with gun violence, according to the student’s email message to the entire student body. I would like to acknowledge that students conducted themselves in a very respectful manner. Cruz, who admitted to the shooting after police apprehended him, had shot people inside five classrooms on the first and second floors of the freshman building. He discarded the rifle, a vest and ammunition in a stairwell, blended in with fleeing students, and got away, authorities said. He was arrested a little more than an hour later as he walked down a residential street.
