ORLANDO, Fla. — Thursday marks one year since the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which took 17 students and faculty. The shooting sparked changes to gun laws in Florida and a massive movement for reform among young people throughout Florida.

In Tallahassee in particular, it led to the passage of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, which raised the age for people to purchase rifles, banned the sale of bump-fire stocks, and allowed counties to create a school guardian program that trained non-law enforcement officers to carry guns on school campuses.

On Wednesday, Spectrum News will examine the role the shooting has had in changing the the law and bills coming up in the Florida Legislature in Tallahassee, starting next month.

Spectrum News Originals Town Hall: Guns, The Law, and Change will air live on Spectrum News 13 in Orlando and Spectrum Bay News 9 in Tampa Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. 

Spectrum News Anchor Holly Gregory will present a special that looks at gun violence and the repercussions of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. 

Then, at 7:30 p.m., anchors Tammie Fields, Troy Kinsey, and Greg Angel will moderate a discussion with community leaders, gun rights advocates, Florida lawmakers, and survivors of the attack at Pulse Orlando in 2016, as well as family members of those killed in the Stoneman Douglas high School shooting. 

Our team will also take questions from the audience. 

The town hall will be held at the UCF Alumni Center, on the campus of the University of Central Florida. The public is welcome to attend, and the event is free. Please reserve a seat on our Town Hall event page.
