Florida legislators struggle with how to respond to shooting

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Stunned by a horrific shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 people dead, the Florida Legislature is grappling with what to do in the aftermath.

Legislators have just three weeks left in their annual 60-day session. Normally, lawmakers are trying to wrap up work on a new state budget in the final days.

But the shooting Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland has revived an ongoing legislative debate about how to respond to gun violence.
