Parkland, Florida mass-shooting survivor David Hogg was removed by a Capitol Police officer from a U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing about gun control July 20, after he confronted Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs about “reiterating the points of mass shooters.”
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School graduate was sitting in the gallery seating area reserved for the public when Biggs made an observation about the source of weapons and motivations of the shooters used in mass shootings when Hogg stood up and confronted him.
“You’re reiterating the points of mass shooters in your manifesto!” he shouted. “The shooter in my high school, anti-Semitic, anti-black and racist. The shooter in El Paso described it as an invasion.”
The guns in Parkland, Buffalo, El Paso, didn’t come from Mexico. They came from the US, and the shooters were inspired by racist, anti-black, anti-immigrant manifestos that rhyme with GOP talking points. pic.twitter.com/0D4QbHvu1t

Hogg’s angered outburst came as testimony by Hogg’s former schoolmates and classmates continued in day three of the sentencing phase in the death penalty trial of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High shooter.
In at times emotionally charged testimony, former students recalled the horrors of the carnage inside the freshman building as the shooter armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle murdered students and faculty members who were trying to shield and protect their students.
WTJV NBC 6 reported, that students who were wounded and witnessed classmates gunned down in the Parkland school shooting were the first to testify Wednesday at the gunman’s sentencing trial.
