shooting

The Highland Park shooting suspect doesn't seem to be associated with a ideological or political bent. But extremism researchers say these kinds of acts may actually be part of a troubling new trend.

The 21-year-old suspect apparently made music videos about shootings, and posted thousands of times to a message board dedicated to sharing graphic photos and videos of violence.

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.

Sellers of body armor are reporting an increase in business due in part to several high-profile mass shootings, police shootings and civil unrest during the pandemic.

The suspect is no longer a threat to the community, officials say. Multiple federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, have responded to assist local police.

Two weeks after a deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, reignited debates about gun violence and securing schools, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday that will require mental-health “crisis intervention” training for on-campus officers.

In similar tragedies over the years, police encountered similar problems during the shootings at Columbine High School in 1999 and at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.

The Story County Sheriff's Office in Ames, Iowa, received multiple 911 calls about shots being fired outside of Cornerstone Church at about 6:51 p.m., it said.

John Hinckley Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981, is saying thank you to the people who helped him win freedom from court oversight.

The shooter had complained multiple times about pain following back surgery and sought additional treatment days before the attack, which left five people dead, including the gunman, police said.

"Four innocents and one shooter" are dead, says Jonathan Brooks of the Tulsa police department at a news conference on Wednesday.
