Fellow presidential candidates join the Texas politicians in demanding action on gun control following a deadly shooting
Beto O'Rourke, Julián Castro and their fellow Democratic presidential candidates on Saturday condemned a mass shooting in Odessa and Midland, Texas, that left at least five people dead and 21 injured.
