At least 19 children and two adults were killed after a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a town about 80 miles west of San Antonio. It was deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook Elementary, when 20 children and six staff members were killed in Newtown, CT, in 2012.
The gunman in Uvalde, an 18-year-old man who was a native of the area, also died after being fatally wounded by police who were responding to the scene. He was armed with a handgun and an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, according to CBS News.
Guns surpassed car accidents as the No. 1 cause of death among children in 2020, jumping nearly 30% between 2019 and 2020, per a research letter in the New England Journal of Medicine.

And, you’re probably not going to get monkeypox from someone by brushing past them in the grocery store, CDC official Dr. Jennifer McQuiston said yesterday. It’s mostly spread through continuous physical contact with a person who has an active rash, and sometimes can be spread through respiratory droplets, but that’s “not the predominant worry,” according to McQuiston.
