Monday evening at 6pm, KTEP will join Texas Public Radio to present a state-wide call-in program, Mass Shootings and the Texas Response.
The programs will look at the recent violence in El Paso and Midland/Odessa. Will the reaction to these latest mass shootings change how Texas deals with gun ownership? Many are calling for action - even a legislative special session. Others worry about weakening gun rights.
Guests on this special program include:
- U.S. Representative Veronica Escobar, Texas 16th congressional district
- Jonathan Levinson, Guns & America reporting fellow
- David Chipman, senior policy advisory for The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and former ATF Special Agent
- Alex Samuels, political reporter for The Texas Tribune
- Mallory Falk, El Paso-based reporter for KERA
- Mitch Borden, Permian Basin reporter for Marfa Public Radio
Tune in Monday at 6pm for a live statewide call-in special: Mass Shootings and the Texas Response on KTEP.
