RUSH EXCERPT: COSTELLO: "Chris, I looked up, God, I hate doing this because we do this and report on these mass killings and think this can't have happened again. Let me run through the numbers, Las Vegas massacre, how easily we forget. 59 people killed there. The Orlando nightclub massacre, 49. Virginia tech, 32. Newtown school shooting, that was 27. You remember the Southerland springs church shooting last year in Texas in November, 25 died. Columbine. Colorado, my hometown, 13 dead there. That was 19 years ago. This according to bill Bratton the former NYPD commissioner is another example of how the country seems to have this sick preoccupation with guns. It manifests itself into these really terrible mass shootings."
