About 100 people turned out yesterday for a free screening of "Living for 32," a documentary which follows Colin Goddard after the Virginia Tech shooting

Afterwards, supporters headed to the State Capitol's Bell Tower for an MLK Day Prayer Vigil and Lie-in with readings from the works of Dr King. The vigil was held to remember all those hurt by gun violence and pray for peace.
