| Texas mass shooting comes on anniversary of another Texas mass shooting |
| Eight years to the day after the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting that left 13 people dead, another gunman at a Texas church 150 miles away killed 26 people and wounded 20. Police said Devin Kelley, 26, opened fire at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, with a semiautomatic rifle apparently because of a " domestic situation" involving his mother-in-law, a congregant at the church. Officials said the massacre is not being investigated as a terrorist attack. Many children were among those killed, including an 18-month old and the pastor's 14-year-old daughter . The shooting spree might have been even more deadly if not for a local resident who grabbed his rifle and exchanged fire with the gunman. Sunday's rampage was the fourth deadliest in the long list of U.S. mass shooting since Fort Hood, and some Democratic lawmakers are issuing passionate calls for gun control legislation. President Trump said "mental health is the problem here" and this "isn't a guns situation." |

| And you thought an Egg McMuffin for lunch was awesome |
| Remember rejoicing when McDonald's finally introduced an all-day breakfast menu? We'll soon have another reason to praise the Golden Arches. The fast-food giant revealed it will bring back a deep discount menu , offering grub for a low price. The move could give McDonald's a chance to win back customers who ditched the chain when it dropped the Dollar Menu. McDonald's estimates it lost a half-billion customers in the four years since then. That's a lot of unsold cheeseburgers. |
