Gun Violence Survivor Removed from Senate Gallery After Yelling "Shame on You" 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A number of gun violence victims and family members watched the vote
from the Senate gallery. As the gun-control measures were defeated,
Virginia Tech mother Lori Haas and Tucson shooting survivor Patricia
Maisch, shouted "shame on you."

Vice President Joe Biden: "Who yields time?"

Unidentified: "Mr. President —"

Patricia Maisch: "Shame on you!"

Vice President Joe Biden: "There'll be order in the Senate."

Maisch was removed from the gallery. Maisch survived the 2011 Tucson
attack, seizing a gun clip from the shooter when he tried to reload.
