Organizers estimate 800K people in DC for march so far: report
BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 03/24/18 03:29 PM EDT
Organizers are reporting as many as 800,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday afternoon for the anti-gun violence rally, NBC reported.
Rebecca Shabad, a congressional reporter for NBC News, tweeted that March for Our Lives officials told her the estimate around 3 p.m. Saturday.

D.C. metropolitan police have not yet released their approximate crowd size.
The current estimate of March for Our Lives attendees exceeds most estimates of President Trump's inauguration crowd size. The Washington Post estimated in 2017 that around 600,000 people attended Trump's inauguration.
