Father of Parkland victim ejected from State of the Union after protesting

Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed during a 2018 school shooting, was removed from House chamber on Tuesday night after yelling at President Trump during the State of the Union.

An individual could be heard screaming at Trump from the gallery above the chamber as the president spoke about Second Amendment rights, before being quickly removed by Capitol Police.

The protestor, according to multiple reports, was Guttenberg, whose daughter, Jaime Guttenberg, was killed in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., in 2018.

Guttenberg was at the State of the Union as a guest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
