Parents Of Murdered Tv Reporter Vow To Push For Gun Control

COLLINSVILLE, Va.— Andy Parker’s resolve to fight for gun control formed in the hours after his daughter was shot and killed on live television. In his first interviews after the tragedy, he briefly mentioned the issue as he eulogized Alison. By Friday, he was pledging a full-scale fight for tougher gun laws on national TV. ”This will be my mission,” he told reporters.

And Parker is starting his battle in unforgiving territory.
