For Parents of School Shooting Victims, Back to School Season Is Emotional

We spoke to Mark Barden, who's seven year old son Daniel was one of the 26 victims killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT in 2012. Barden, one of co-founders and CEO of the Sandy Hook Promise Action Fund, tells us how with back to school in full swing this time of year brings up many emotions. He also explains what the Sandy Hook Promise has been able to accomplish in the past 10 years, and what other measures he thinks need to be done to reduce gun violence in America.
