Robb Elementary footage offers clearest view of police response |
| A school security camera captured the horror and devastating law enforcement mistakes during the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 children and two teachers. Footage from the camera is at the center of a political struggle over what public information from that day should be released and by whom. A 77-minute recording, reviewed by the Austin American-Statesman, offers an unabridged view of police inaction, among the clearest accounts of what happened before and after the victims were gunned down. Amid a shifting official timeline of the law enforcement response and anger among Uvalde residents over questions about the shooting, it provides an unfiltered view of what transpired. State Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, and Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin have argued for its release, while Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell Busbee opposes its disclosure. |
Bannon's desire to testify is not 'an effort at compliance,' prosecutors say |
| Former White House strategist Steve Bannon's willingness to testify before a special House committee investigating the attack Jan. 6, 2021, on the Capitol was described by federal prosecutors as a stunt a week before his trial on a criminal contempt charges for defying a committee subpoena. "His actions are little more than an attempt to change the optics of his contempt on the eve of trial, not an actual effort at compliance," prosecutors said in court documents. The former Trump aide is set to stand trial July 18 on two counts of contempt involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House committee. |

Many Americans question value of college, according to poll |
| Americans say earning a bachelor's degree may help people find good jobs and could improve society, but attending college can be too expensive and time-consuming for working adults, according to a poll from USA TODAY and Public Agenda. The survey found a little more than half of Americans agree that the benefits of a degree outweigh the costs. Undergraduate enrollment has fallen by more than a million students in the past two years, in part because of COVID-19 and more recently a surging workforce. The nation's $1.7 trillion student loan debt portfolio continues to balloon. |

Sunken ship dating back to WWII emerges from Lake Mead |
| A sunken boat dating back to World War II emerged from Lake Mead. The Higgins landing craft that had long been 185 feet below the surface is nearly halfway out of the water. The boat was used to survey the Colorado River decades ago, sold to the marina, then sunk, according to dive tours company Las Vegas Scuba. About 1,500 "Higgins boats" were deployed at Normandy on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day. The boat is the latest object unearthed by declining water levels in Lake Mead, the largest human-made reservoir in the USA, held back by the Hoover Dam. |
