COLORADO SPRINGS —The family of a 29-year-old Army veteran killed in last week's Planned Parenthood attack called Thursday for tighter Colorado gun laws to prevent another mass shooting.

"They need to be changed," said Leyonté Chandler, whose brother Ke'Arre Stewart was killed in the rampage. "I believe that random acts of violence like this wouldn't occur if you didn't present the opportunity for it. A lot of these things could be prevented if the gun laws were changed."

Sharon Lloyd, Stewart's mother, said she is going to dedicate her life moving forward to battling for gun reform.

"Until we do something about those gun laws, we are going to continue to lose lives like we (did) today," Lloyd said at a viewing for her son. "My son died senseless — no meaning to it whatsoever."

"We're just allowing" these shootings, she added.
