Texas Shooting
An 18-year-old barricaded himself inside a classroom at a Texas elementary school and killed 19 children and two teachers before being shot by police while hiding in a closet. The gunman wore a tactical vest and allegedly used an assault rifle that he purchased on his 18th birthday. This is the second-deadliest school shooting since 2012 behind Sandy Hook.

Georgia Primary Day
Brian Kemp and Herschel Walker cruised to victory by 50+ point margins in their respective races on Tuesday night. The only surprise on election night in Georgia was the victory by Brad Raffensperger against Jody Hice for Secretary of State. Raffensperger cleared the 50% mark which prevents the need for a runoff. Georgia set a record for early voting despite claims from Democrats that Georgia’s new voting laws would restrict turnout. Go deeper with Politico.
ISIS Tried To Kill George Bush
The FBI has arrested an ISIS-affiliated Iraqi national who planned to coordinate the execution of George W. Bush. Shihab Ahmed Shihab Shihab claimed the former president was responsible for tearing Iraq apart after the U.S. military invasion in 2003. Go read this full story.
