Footage shows police confrontation with Nashville shooter |
Authorities on Tuesday released police body camera footage from a deadly shooting at a Nashville elementary school. Police released more than two minutes of surveillance footage Monday, followed by six minutes of body camera video on Tuesday from officers who encountered the shooter. The footage shows officers arriving at the school and entering the building and classrooms with rifles raised as alarms ring. The video ends with the confrontation in an upstairs lobby area, when several shots were fired at the attacker, who went down amid shouts of "stop moving," "suspect down," and "get your hand away from the gun." | Attendees pray for the victims of the Covenant School shooting during a Tuesday vigil at Church of the City in Nashville, Tenn.

Pence ordered to testify in Jan. 6 investigation |
A federal judge has ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to provide information to a grand jury as part of a special counsel's investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a person familiar with the matter said. The decision represents a potentially significant blow to the former president's claims that he did nothing wrong while urging Pence to intervene in the certification of President Joe Biden's election. A strategy mapped out by Trump lawyer John Eastman called for Pence to reject electors from seven contested states that Biden won. Pence refused to participate. |

At least 40 people have died in a fire in a dormitory at an immigration detention center in northern Mexico near the U.S. border, immigration officials said Tuesday. Twenty-nine injuries have also been reported thus far, the National Immigration Institute said. The fire broke out when migrants fearing deportation set mattresses ablaze at the facility in Ciudad Juarez, just south of El Paso, Texas, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said. Authorities are investigating the fire, the institute said. Mexico's National Human Rights Commission was also alerted.

Ready for a 'planetary parade'? 🪐 |
A planetary alignment will happen on Tuesday , allowing people to see five planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus – in the night sky. Gary Swangin, manager of the Panther Academy Planetarium in Paterson, New Jersey, said it'll be easy to see Mars, Venus and Jupiter in the sky, but it may require binoculars or a telescope to see Mercury and Uranus. To see the alignment, look to the western horizon right after sunset. | | | | The cryptocurrency entrepreneur's latest indictment alleges conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. | | | | During the Vietnam War, Peter Mathews found an enemy soldier's diary.
