Approximately 1,000 students protesting gun violence have gathered on the softball field at Xavier College Preparatory, a Catholic high school for girls in Phoenix.

The Wednesday morning event was among several around the city carried out as part of a national action to remember the 17 high school students recently killed in a shooting in Florida.

At Mountain Ridge High School in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, students walked to the football field where some stood in silence and others chanted "enough is enough."

There also was a protest at Apollo High School in Glendale.
