Most mass shooting deaths

(CNN) — Uvalde school district police chief Pedro “Pete” Arredondo has resigned his separate position on the Uvalde city council in the wake of the massacre at Robb Elementary School in May, according to a resignation letter he sent to the city. “After much consideration, it is in the best interest of the community to step down as a member of the City Council for District 3 to minimize further distractions,” Arredondo said in the letter. “The Mayor, the City Council, and the City Staff must continue to move forward to unite our community, once again.” READ MORE: Preparations Underway For The Salute To America Independence Day Parade In Philadelphia Uvalde city officials confirmed they received the resignation letter Saturday.

Pedro "Pete" Arredondo, whose delayed response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, has been widely criticized resigned from his post on the city council, the local newspaper reported Saturday. "After much consideration, I regret to inform those who voted for me that I have decided to step down as a member of the city council," Arredondo told the Uvalde Leader-News. "The mayor, the city council, and the city staff must continue to move forward without distractions." Shortly after the article was published, however, the City of Uvalde released a statement saying it had not heard directly from Arredondo. "While it is the right thing to do, no one from the City has seen a letter or any other documentation of his resignation, or even spoken with him," read the statement, circulated by news outlets. Officials noted that they had learned of Arredondo's resignation only from the Leader-News's article. Arredondo, his lawyer, and a person who has handled … [Read more...] about Uvalde schools police chief resigns city council post

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 11 LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — As American citizens celebrated freedom and liberty in their nation on Independence Day, 1961, a government founded on notions of the inalienable human rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness took action at a local level to deny those rights to their fellow citizens whose skin was not white. This little-taught chapter of local history is being brought to life in an original play, “Buried Deep,” produced through Endstation Theatre Company, affiliated with Randolph College. On that sweltering July day in Lynchburg, as many residents sought the relief offered by public pools, the city closed those pools down because some Black residents went to swim in the whites-only pools at Miller and Riverside parks. They were exercising their civil rights and making intentional strides toward integration and … [Read more...] about Play tells story of filling in pools rather than integrating

READ MORE: Fourth Of July Fireworks Return To Baltimore's Inner Harbor The girl survived her injuries, but 17-year-old Neal Mack later died.

There was a triple shooting in East Baltimore that left two men dead and a woman was found shot to death in a vehicle in South Baltimore. “I don’t have the luxury of caring and just because it happened in the Inner Harbor,” Scott said. “That young man lost his life at the Inner Harbor.

Rookie Dalen Terry ended his first official practice as a Chicago Bull with a show of support from teammate Patrick Williams. Williams picked out the Bulls rookie as the top competitor of the practice, highlighting Terry’s energy on his first day scrimmaging against his new teammates as he prepares for the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next week. The Bulls selected Terry with the 18th pick of the draft last month. “It gave me a little bit more confidence,” Terry said. “He was here last year, he’s been through what I’ve been through. So for him to do that is definitely a nod and respect, and I appreciate him for saying that.” Williams, the Bulls’ pick at No. 4 in 2020 , provided an immediate challenge for Terry, who is relishing the chance to face off against professional players in his first days at the Advocate Center. Bulls Summer League coach John Bryant said the two had a fair amount of friendly trash talk in their limited matchups on the first day of practice. … [Read more...] about Dalen Terry welcomes the challenge — and support — from Patrick Williams in his 1st Chicago Bulls practice
