Presidential candidate and Texan, Julián Castro, repeated his calls for gun control legislation after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, on ThisWeekABC.
Both 2020 presidential candidates from Texas responded to the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, on ABC's “This Week” Sunday, criticizing President Donald Trump and calling for stricter gun control legislation.
"The president is just as angry by this as you are, and wants to do something about it just as much as everybody else does," Mulvaney said."This was a sick person. The person in Dayton was a sick person. No politician is to blame for that." O’Rourke left the campaign trail to return to his hometown on Saturday night. He toured one of the hospitals that had taken in victims of the shooting. On"This Week" he described having seen a woman who was shot in the chest, as well as her mother and aunt who were also victims of the shooting."It's incredibly heartbreaking to see what these families are going through," former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke says after visiting with some of the victims in the hospital.
Another mass shooting occurred in Dayton, Ohio, just over 12 hours later. Police have said that nine people are dead and more than a dozen are wounded. Cielo Vista Mall, where the Walmart is located, is one of El Paso's most popular malls, especially among Mexican tourists who come to the U.S. to shop. At least three Mexican nationals were killed in the attack, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said.“[The shooter] traveled from Allen, Texas, more than nine hours away to go specifically there,” he added. “There was a very Hispanic-heavy area. So it certainly looks like a hate crime.
