Children in the classrooms with the Texas gunman called 911 repeatedlywhile the police waited in the hall for more than an hour. Police in the U.S. responding to mass shootings are trained above all to confront the gunman. The gunman left multiple hints of his plans in the weeks before the massacre. Human rights experts accused President Vladimir Putin of Russia of waging a genocidal campaign to wipe out part of the Ukrainian population. Southern Baptist Convention leaders published a list this week of hundreds of church workers “credibly accused” of sexual abuse. Millions of Americans are expected to travel this Memorial Day weekend.
