As the nation dealt with news of yet another school shooting Friday evening, two groups in Greater Cincinnati sang the same tune in different keys. 

Student performers at Mason High School and activists who gathered outside Sen. Rob Portman’s Cincinnati office both wanted to spend the evening honoring victims of past school shootings and advocating for stricter gun control in the United States.
