Some survivors of the Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida earlier this year will appear at a “Town Hall” event Thursday afternoon at the Lyric Theatre in Blacksburg. The 3:30 Town Hall meeting is a “community dialogue” with topics suggested by the audience. It is billed as a non-partisan event. Among those on hand to greet the Parkland students will be 12th district delegate Chris Hurst – he lost his girlfriend Alison Parker when she was shot dead live on air as a WDBJ-7 reporter in 2015.
