Obama calls Kalamazoo officials over shootings, pleads for more gun laws

Washington Times

"President Obama called local officials in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Monday morning to pledge federal resources for their probe of a mass shooting, and said the tragedy highlights the need for more gun laws.
. . . 
"Mr. Obama said he took executive actions on gun control earlier this year “that will make it harder for dangerous people like this individual [inKalamazoo] to buy a gun.” But he called on the governors “to partner and think about what we can do in a common-sense way, in a bipartisan way, without some of the ideological rhetoric that so often surrounds that issue.”
"Local authorities haven’t revealed yet how the alleged gunman, James B. Dalton, obtained the handgun used in the shootings. Six people were killed at random and two others seriously wounded." . . .
