Gun control still dividing opinion in the US

The first memorial for the victims of the 1966 University of Texas shooting was held in the US city of Austin.

In the first mass civilian shooting in modern US history, a gunman shot dead 16 people.

Fifty years on, the debate over gun control in the US is still dividing public opinion.
