Mother of Orlando Victim Pleads for Assault Weapons Control in Emotional Interview
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 49 people killed in the Orlando massacre have all been identified.
Among those now confirmed killed is Christopher Leinonen, whose mother
Christine gave an emotional interview to ABC News Sunday as she was
still waiting to hear news about her son.

Christine Leinonen: "I just wanted to say, though, that this is a club
that nobody wants to be in. And please can we do something with the
assault weapons, so that we can stop this club from ever getting any new
members? I beg all of you. Please."

Christine Leinonen's son Christopher was 32.
