      Timely communication and quick action can prevent tragedy. A former middle school friend of the Covenant School shooter shared chilling messages she received via Instagram before the attack, which she immediately reported to authorities. The shooter expressed suicidal thoughts and made ominous statements. The friend's father instructed her to call the suicide prevention helpline, and she also contacted the police. Two Metro Nashville Police Department officers, Rex Engelbert and Michael Collazo, were among the first responders and displayed heroic and courageous actions in entering the school and neutralizing the threat within 14 minutes of the call. The quick response likely saved many lives. It's crucial to take any signs of potential harm seriously and act promptly to ensure safety.

      Chinese officials have exploited connections with Utah lawmakers, particularly those with ties to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to influence public opinion and legislation in their favor. This has resulted in delayed actions against Chinese propaganda and condemnations of human rights abuses. Meanwhile, in Mexico, at least 39 people have died in a fire at a migrant detention center, with authorities alleging that the migrants started the fire in response to being told they would be deported. Homeland Security Secretary Alejayandro Mayorkas testified before the Senate about Mexico's role in addressing drug flow and illegal immigration, but was unable to definitively label Mexico as a reliable partner in these efforts. Lastly, a baby born at just 22 weeks in Maine has miraculously survived and returned home after spending over eight months in the hospital.
