CHICAGO: Survivors of a recent gun rampage at a Texas school intensified their calls for reforms including tougher gun restrictions Friday, as several of their classmates were laid to rest. Eight children and two adults were killed one week ago when Santa Fe High School student Dimitrios Pagourtzis fired multiple shots with a shotgun and handgun inside his school in rural southeast Texas, also injuring 13. “The simple reality is that if we do not do something, another town will be ripped apart, like mine,” said Santa Fe High School student Megan McGuire. We are not going to let anybody move on from this,” said Bree Butler, a Santa Fe High School senior. Meanwhile, memorials were planned in Santa Fe and surrounding communities through next Tuesday as the dead are buried.
