On the eve of the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington, D.C., WDIV-Local 4 will air a live special called “Generation Under Fire.”
In the aftermath of the school shooting in Parkland, FL, that spurred students across the nation to protest in a school walk out, “Generation Under Fire” tackles issues from school safety here at home, to gun legislation and the impact of the violence.
These topics and more will be covered in Local 4’s hour-long special:
- A discussion with local education students who are about to become teachers
- The importance of the march to local students heading to D.C.
- The number of teachers who have signed up for classes to get a Concealed Pistol License
- Dads who invented a “gun vault” for schools
- Parents raising money for door and window security devices for their children’s schools
- A psychologist’s view on mental health issues and why so many young children plan attacks in schools.
Local 4 anchors Devin Scillian and Kimberly Gill host this primetime special from the WDIV studios in downtown Detroit along with Sandra Ali who will be live from D.C. talking to metro area students.
“Generation Under Fire” airs Friday, March 23 at 8 p.m. on Local 4 and will be streamed on ClickOnDetroit.com.
In addition to participating in the primetime special, Ali will report from the march Saturday throughout the day online and during Local 4 News at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.
