"A constant stream of students were seen marching on the Tennessee Capitol in Music City, with WKRN estimating up to 3,000 swarming the steps," said the report, referring to a local television station.

The report added that the rally was organized by March for Our Lives, the student-led group started by survivors of the 2018 Parkland shooting in Florida.

"We will not keep burying our classmates," the group said, cited by the media outlet.

On March 27, a heavily-armed shooter attacked a private elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, killing six people, including three nine-year-old students, before being fatally shot by police.
