In 2018, Jaclyn Corin spent hours trapped in a classroom as a shooter roamed the halls of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, before she was able to walk safely away. But 14 of her classmates and three staff members of the school would not make it out alive. Their deaths helped spark a new mission for Corin and several other of her classmates.
"After the shooting, I pretty much thrust myself into advocacy because I knew that if I was lucky enough to survive the shooting and some of my peers were not, I needed to do something productive with my fear," she told "CBS Mornings" on Friday. "And so I kind of spent the rest of my high school career, throwing away the rest of my childhood really, and doing this advocacy work."
The March For Our Lives movement was founded in 2018 and sparked a series of marches that brought people from across the world together—determined to put a stop to gun violence.
