Legendary ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale was shocked after watching videos from the Las Vegas shooting and is calling for more gun control in the wake of the tragedy.
The 78-year-old college basketball broadcaster didn’t get around to watching the videos until a few days after the horrible events that occurred in Las Vegas on Sunday, but he had a strong reaction.
