Former U.S. Rep. Gaby Giffords, a victim of gun violence, along with Wasserman Shultz will hold a gun safety meeting in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday. The event will be held at the Fort Lauderdale Firefighters Union Hall starting at 5 p.m.

The two will then head to Cooper City for a community meeting to discuss what they call common sense gun violence legislation. The meeting will be held at Temple Beth Emet starting at 7 p.m.
