WAUWATOS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Students staged a walkout at Wauwatosa West High School on Friday, Sept. 5, where dozens left the building midday. 

Quinn Gagliano is a junior at Wauwatosa West High School. On Friday, she held a sign that read, "enough money to lock up hones, but not enough to keep guns out" and said the demonstration was not only against gun violence but against a no cellphone policy at the school. 

"To the people who think we're dramatic, I just want you to understand and like think, that you don't know going into school if you're going to come out because of how many school shootings there are," said Gagliano. "There was one while the students were praying. We don't need thoughts and prayers, we need security." 

Gagliono says most of the students in her grade wanted to support the walkout but couldn't face the consequences of doing it.
