Data shows Independence Day is the bloodiest holiday in the U.S. This Fourth of July weekend, a nation already on edge in the wake of mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, saw more gun violence and dozens killed and injured.
Weeks after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, reporters are still seeking basic information about the law enforcement response that allowed the gunman to kill teachers and children inside the school for more than an hour, says @sewellchan of @TexasTribune .
Raymond Goode is one of those people. He happened to be in San Antonio when the Uvalde mass shooting happened so he went there to help them heal. Goode was also in Highland Park for the 4th of July parade.

There are about to be new gun laws in New Jersey. Late Tuesday morning, Gov. Murphy was set to sign several measures into law in response to the recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas. @elijahwestbrook has more on what the bills contain.
They say God puts people in place for a reason. Raymond Goode is one of those people. He was in San Antonio when the Uvalde mass shooting happened so he went there to help them heal. Weeks later, Goode was in Highland Park for the 4th of July parade.

FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde. You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something. 1/ Here's just a sampling of the slaughter in the last six days:
Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs.

Your morning reminder that in the 10 days since Uvalde, there have been 20 more mass shootings in the United States. In those 20 massacres, 91 were shot and injured and so far, 19 died.

Tried to visit the gun store that sold weapons to the Uvalde gunman. Was stopped in parking lot by management. It’s open but I’m not allowed in. Asked why… “You have a notepad… and an accent.”
