Uvalde shooting: Texas school gunman ‘walked in unobstructed’ – BBC News
“They [didn’t] make entry immediately because of the gunfire they were receiving,” Mr Escalon told reporters.
But an hour lapsed before the gunman was killed in a shootout after US Border Patrol tactical teams arrived.
The attacker shot dead 19 students and two teachers, and injured at least 17 more people.
Videos have emerged of police being frantically urged by onlookers and family remembers to storm the building immediately.
A father whose daughter died in the attack told the Associated Press news agency he had considered running into the school with bystanders out of frustration with the alleged police inaction.
One mother told the Wall Street Journal that she was briefly handcuffed, accused of impeding a police investigation, after demanding along with other parents that officers storm the building. Angeli Rose Gomez said she saw one frantic father thrown to the ground by an officer, another father pepper-sprayed and a third who was later tased.
“The police were doing nothing,” said Ms Gomez, who was eventually released before she said she jumped over the school fence and ran inside to rescue her two children. “They [the police] were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
Mr Escalon – a Texas Ranger and spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety – said that during the time officers were outside the school they were calling in reinforcements and “also evacuating students, teachers”.
“An hour later US Border Patrol tactical teams arrive, they make entry and shoot and kill the suspect,” he added. “Immediately… it turns into a rescue operation.”

COVID cases remain steady, hospitalizations up in Ohio
BRAVO
In America we suffer from two collective self-delusions 1. that guns “guarantee” individual political freedom and that unwanted deaths are the price of that freedom, and 2. That our votes do not count. Guns do not guarantee freedom and votes do count – you need to vote not just for national elections but local and state and for people who pledge to regulate guns, protect the environment and public health…

Filling it with new names seems to be the only action we’re capable of |
| By Jay Caspian Kang Opinion Writer |
| At some point in the past decade or so, our response to mass shootings turned into a series of memes. As the body count rises, the same, recycled tweets, Instagram posts and fiery speeches from the last massacre make their dutiful rounds through online spaces. |
| We see the Onion headline, “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.” We see the tweet, “In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.” We see statistics about N.R.A. campaign contributions; references to the effectiveness of Australia’s National Firearms Agreement, signed in the aftermath of a mass shooting there that killed 35 people; and polls about the popularity of… |

White House expands access to COVID-19 antivirals | CIDRAP
Expanding test-to-treat efforts
Noting that Paxlovid has been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death by about 90% in people with COVID-19, the White House said in a news release it has “moved quickly to ensure that these treatments are widely available and that health care providers and patients know about their availability and efficacy.”
The federal Test-to-Treat initiative helps make it easier for people to quickly access oral COVID-19 drugs like Paxlovid. More than 2,500 Test-to-Treat locations are now operational across the country at local pharmacies and community health centers, up from 2,200 a month ago.
“We have dramatically increased the number of people benefiting from oral antivirals in the last seven weeks, from about 27,000 prescriptions filled each week to more than 182,000 last week—a more than six-fold increase,” the White House said. “We have also doubled the number of sites where Paxlovid is available nationally.”
The federally supported Test-to-Treat clinic in Rhode Island is located in Providence. Federal reimbursement will allow people who test positive for COVID-19 at the clinic to immediately receive a medical assessment and get oral antiviral treatments if they are prescribed. The clinic also offers federally supported vaccination.
