Five Parkland school shooting survivors who are leading the #NeverAgain movement to end gun violence in schools speak to TIME's Charlotte Alter about their historic march on Washington, and what comes next._  by [Alana Abramson](https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/)  ## Alana Abramson Jun 5, 2018 3:33 PM UTC  Parkland Activist David Hogg at the Time 100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 24, 2018 in New York City. Parkland Activist David Hogg at the Time 100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 24, 2018 in New York City. Landon Nordeman for TIME  by [Alana Abramson](https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/)  ## Alana Abramson Jun 5, 2018 3:33 PM UTC A SWAT team was dispatched to a home that local media reports matches the address of Parkland school shooting survivor and gun control activist [David Hogg’s](http://time.com/5248853/parkland-survivor-david-hogg-at-time-100/) family Tuesday morning. The team arrived at the home after authorities received a report of a barricaded subject inside the house, an official with the Broward County Sherff’s Office told TIME. The report turned out to be baseless, the official said, but the SWAT team cleared out the home as a precautionary measure. Local media helicopters were over the home during the incident. Hogg was not home at the time, as he is in Washington, D.C. to accept the [Robert F. Kennedy human rights award.](https://rfkhumanrights.org/news/2018-human-rights-award-winners-announced) The incident appears to be [an example of “swatting,”](http://time.com/5082806/what-is-swatting-tyler-barriss-troy-livingston/) in which a false report of an emergency is made with the intention of getting a SWAT team dispatched to a location where no such emergency exists. Swatting incidents, which can result in tense and dangerous standoffs between police and confused residents, have led to [at least one death,](http://time.com/5082806/what-is-swatting-tyler-barriss-troy-livingston/) leading some to call for laws that would explicitly ban the practice. The incident came just two days after Hogg graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of a [February massacre](http://time.com/5223651/ted-nugent-parkland-students/) during which 17 people were killed. Representatives from March for Our Lives, the movement Hogg helped spearhead after the shooting, did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for comment. Hogg did not immediately weigh in on social media. ## Transcript 911, What's your emergency? Please help us, please help us, somebody. A shooter a shooter. Is anybody injured? Yes, yes. A lot of bodies. Just please help. Please [ sobbing ] Right after February 14 A whole community of people were hurting, a whole community of people didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do, nor should hey have, this is an unfathomable thing. [ MUSIC ] We don't want your thoughts and prayers, okay, stop sending those, that's enough, we are the people who instantly said this can be prevented, this should have been prevented and this has been prevented in other countries My name is Jaclyn Corin, I'm 17. I'm Alex Wind, I'm 17. I'm Emma Gonzalez. I'm 18 years old. I can vote. I'm David Hogg. I'm 17 years old. My name is Cameron Kasky. I'm 17 and I'm a junior member of the Never Again MSD Movement, which started in my living Sitting room. Today we take to the streets in over 800 marches around the globe and demand common sense gun laws. [ UNKNOWN ] Today is the beginning of a bright new future for this country. And if you think today is good Just wait for tomorrow. [ APPLAUSE ] President Trump is not going to be able to walk away from The March For Our Lives. Nobody is going to be able to walk away. Who are we? MSE! Who are we? Teenagers know this situation because we experience this first- hand. The people in the whitehouse don't know what it feels like to be trapped in a closet, fearing For your life, because you don't know whether the knocks you hear outside are police or a shooter. People are inspired by us because we're their age. We're just like them, we could be friends with them if we went to their schools, and they're seeing us on TV and speaking up on social media. Vote them out. Vote them out. We are here to remind American citizens that, Their lawmakers work for them, and that they can demand change. And when it comes to gun violence and gun laws, these politicians are going to have to understand that it's not about their personal views anymore. We voted you into office because you were going to keep our best interests at heart, and you did not. So this is the time to change that [ APPLAUSE ] Imagine a country that allows its children to be slaughtered and does nothing about it. That doesn't sound like America.
