    A gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 19 children. It's the latest in a series of mass killings at churches, schools and stores, and the prospects for any reform of the nation’s gun regulations seem dim. (AP/May 25)

    In a statement, the Riley County Police Department says “there are no words to describe the emotions we are all feeling after hearing the news. We will continue to do everything in our power to stand between our children and danger.”
