The Tennessee statehouse has expelled two Democratic politicians who led a gun control protest that halted legislative proceedings last week.
In a rare move, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted 72-25 to expel Justin Jones and 69-26 to remove Justin Pearson.
But an expulsion vote failed against a third Democratic lawmaker, Gloria Johnson, who also joined the protest.
Crowds of protesters have flooded the State Capitol since a school shooting.
The 27 March attack at Nashville’s Covenant School killed six people, including three children.
