Some chanted, others walked quietly. But hundreds of students all across central Indiana participated in National Walkout Day Wednesday morning, as they protested against gun violence and remembered the 17 people killed a month ago in a Parkland, Florida school shooting.  At Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, the school administrators were very supportive of the students' choice to participate in the national protest. The administrators even helped organize the event.  "I have never been more proud of my fellow classmates," said Elizabeth Grout, a junior at Brebeuf. "Everyone is speaking their beliefs. We have come to a common ground of school safety. ... This is the best school in Indianapolis, in Indiana. This is what we encourage our students to do. We are politically active. We have a voice. We are proud to represent our community."
