Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was blasted on Monday by a CNN reporter for refusing to publicly release the entire 77-minute hallway video from the mass shooting massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, Jr. has called for the release of all the video, but Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell-Busbee has refused to release the video, citing an ongoing criminal investigation even though the suspected gunman was killed.

Albuquerque police have identified a boy who was killed in a fire after a local SWAT team used explosive "flash bangs" on a home.

In a press release on Sunday, police said that a deceased body was identified as 15-year-old Brett Rosenau.

With media in Japan refusing to report key details about what motivated alleged assassin Tetsuya Yamagami to shoot former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the people of Japan are taking to social media to fill in the gaps.

Jeffrey Hall, special lecturer in Japanese studies at Japan’s Kanda University of International Studies, noted the growing online speculation that the group in question is the Unification Church, officially now known on the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification that was founded by Sun Myung Moon, whose members are known colloquially as "Moonies."

Two men were fatally shot on Saturday morning at an El Rey Hispanic grocery store, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

"Following a disturbance in the store, two security guards and a man went into the parking lot, where the man and guards exchanged gunfire. The man and one of the guards — a man about 50 years old — were struck and died at the scene, according to Milwaukee Police District Two Sgt. John Ivy. Police did not specify which man fired first or how many shots were fired," the newspaper reported.

According to CNN legal analyst Joey Jackson, the father of the Highland Park shooter could be facing serious criminal charges of his own after unrepentantly admitting that he helped arm his son despite knowing about his mental instability.

In a recent interview, Bobby Crimo Jr responded to reports that the state of Illinois was opening an investigation into his efforts to help his son buy guns by stating, “Do I regret that? No, not three years ago -- signing a consent form to go through the process … that’s all it was. Had I purchased guns throughout the years and given them to him in my name, that's a different story. But he went through that whole process himself.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) revealed this week that the man accused of murdering seven people at a July Fourth parade in Illinois wanted her jailed for an alleged role in the Jan. 6 attacks.

During an interview with OAN, Greene said that Democrats wanted to paint mass shooters as conservatives.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) argued this week that a mass shooting at a July Fourth parade in Illinois was "designed" to ruin "MAGA month" and convince Republicans to support gun control.

During her MTG Live broadcast on Tuesday, Greene suggested that the shooting was a false flag event staged by anti-gun forces.

On Twitter Sunday afternoon in the aftermath of the July 4th Highland Park mass shooting a photo of a young boy appeared in several tweets. He was described as lost, good samaritans assumed he had become separated from his parents in the mayhem of the massacre, and people were trying to reunite him with his family.

CBS Chicago reporter Marissa Parra now reveals the boy's name is Aiden, but he won't be reunited with his parents: both were shot dead by the Highland Park gunman.

After the Highland Park mass shooting, Americans are once again asking how the alleged shooter was able to fly under the radar while posting videos of mass shootings or school shootings.

Speaking on the MSNBC panel Tuesday, former FBI investigator Peter Strzok explained how all of the details that should foretell a mass shooter ultimately end up flying below the radar.

The 21-year-old man suspected of being the shooter in Monday's Highland Park, Illinois massacre planned the attack for weeks, purchased his weapons legally, disguised himself by wearing women's attire to "conceal his facial tattoos and his identity," and to "help him during the escape." He then walked to his mother's house after the shooting, police said in a Tuesday press conference.

Six people died and over thirty others were wounded.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman on Tuesday voiced support for a federal ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines following multiple shootings over the long holiday weekend, including one that left six dead and dozens wounded in a Chicago suburb.

"Gisele and I are heartbroken for the victims of these shootings and their families," Fetterman said in a statement. "We wish both law enforcement officers who were injured in the Philadelphia shooting a safe and quick recovery."

Fox News host Harris Faulkner declined to correct Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) after she suggested that Joe Biden might not be the president of the United States.

Faulkner kicked off a Tuesday segment by slamming Biden for making a "gaffe" as he spoke about a recent mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois. Biden said that authorities had not released the name of the alleged shooter but a person of interest had been named by the time he spoke.

Newsmax pundit Betsy Brantner Smith suggested that anger about the loss of abortion rights had triggered an alleged Illinois mass shooter who was a fan of former President Donald Trump.

Police identified Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III as a person of interest in the Highland Park shooting that left 6 people dead. According to reports, Crimo was caught on video attending a rally with former President Donald Trump. He was also seen draped in a Trump flag.
