As Jersey City shooting unfolded, Katie Couric pushed again for gun control

Former broadcast news anchor Katie Couric pushed for gun control on Tuesday as the shooting in Jersey City, New Jersey, was unfolding.

Couric, best known as the co-anchor of NBC News' "Today" from 1991-2006, shared a tweet from a gun-control activist that contained a video showing several armed law-enforcement officials walking down the street in search of the gunmen.

"This is terrifying. There are active shooters in #JerseyCity one cop has been shot in the head. Every single Jersey City public school is on lockdown in response to the active shooter situation in the city. This is our reality. It doesn't have to be. #GunReformNow," Couric tweeted.

The anchor posted several other tweets reacting to the shooting.
