Today marks two years since the Virginia Tech massacre. Thirty-two people were killed before the killer took his own life, making it the deadliest single-shooter incident in US history.  The incident prompted advocates of gun ownership to push for legislation that would allow people to carry concealed weapons on university and college campuses as a means of self-defense. Their efforts have so far failed in all states...but that may soon change in Texas. Legislators there are expected to vote in the coming weeks on a measure that would require all of the state's public institutions of higher learning to allow concealed firearms into the classroom. Shannon Young reports from Austin.
