Blink 182 Postpone Sunday’s Concert In El Paso After Shooting

After the horrific events on Saturday in El Paso, the group has decided to postpone their concert Sunday at the Don Haskins Center until a later date. The Sun City has been reeling after the morning's events at the Walmart in El Paso where at least 20 people lost their lives and more than two dozen others were injured.
