Roanoke TV Shooting, Gun Control and Mental Health

The fatal shooting of journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward during a live broadcast in Roanoke, Virginia, has reignited the national debate over gun control and mental health. Andy Parker, Alison's father, has become a public advocate for "sensible" gun laws, while Donald Trump and other Republicans have framed the incident as a "mental health problem" rather than a firearm issue. The segment examines the media's role in shaping the narrative and the behavior of the victims' associates in the aftermath.
