PARKLAND, Fla. -- A day after the tragic mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, his former school, Chicago Cubs star Anthony Rizzo called for change.
"While I don't have all the answers, I know that something has to change, before this is visited on another community, and another community, and another community," Rizzo said Thursday night at a candlelight vigil for the victims of Wednesday's massacre.
Seventeen people, including students and school workers, were killed when a gunman opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle at the school in south Florida.
Rizzo, a 2007 graduate of Stoneman Douglas, left Cubs training camp in Arizona on Wednesday and was one of about two dozen speakers who addressed a crowd of thousands that came out to show their support at the Parkland Amphitheatre.
