Mass Shootings

A Walmart employee opened fire in a Virginia store late Tuesday during what are normally popular pre-Thanksgiving shopping hours. It's the second high-profile mass killing in a handful of days.

Fourteen students and three staff members were killed in the rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day in 2018. Cruz, 24, pleaded guilty last year to first-degree murder.

National Safety Shelters sells safety pods that can fit a classroom of students inside to protect them from active shooters or extreme weather.

The Austin American-Statesman and its television partner, KVUE, published surveillance video taken the day of the deadly mass shooting in Uvalde.

State Rep. Dustin Burrows said lawmakers also plan to discuss their probe into the May 24 school shooting with family members of victims. The announcement comes as the investigation into the shooting continues to face heavy criticism.

Teacher Arnulfo "Arnie" Reyes was inside a Robb Elementary classroom when the Uvalde shooting began. He was repeatedly shot and spent a month in the hospital. Now, he's trying to heal.

Overwhelming majorities want to see universal background checks, raising the age to buy any kind of gun to 21 and red flag laws. But just a quarter trust the government to look out for them.

Officials expect the charges to run in the dozens, and — if convicted — suspect Robert "Bobby" Crimo III could face a mandatory life sentence without parole.

Officials are calling the 22-year-old a person of interest. Police Chief Lou Jogmen says the man gave himself up after a brief pursuit in his car.

The school will be demolished so "students and staff will not have to return to the building at the site of the tragedy," the district said.
