Two physicians with close ties to the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, where Monday's shooting took place are expressing their frustrations and calling for more action on gun violence. Dr. Britney Grayson, a pediatric surgeon, said she had left the school less than 20 minutes before shots rang out, and Dr. Ryan Mire, president of the American College of Physicians (ACP), said he practices primary care about 10 minutes away from the school where six people were killed, including three children. Grayson said in a Facebook post written four hours after the shooting that she had been asked by a friend to speak to students about her work in Kenya.
Countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East have all avoided taking sides on Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- but India's size and power make it the most influential nation to remain neutral, a year into the war. The world's second-largest country and sixth-largest economy will continue to maintain ties to both Russia and the West with a posture of "strategic ambivalence," experts say, resisting a U.S. push to directly oppose Moscow while calling for "peace" and cooperation on what "common ground" there is. "As you meet in the land of Gandhi and the Buddha, I pray that you will draw inspiration from India's civilizational ethos -- to focus not on what divides us, but on what unites us."
Jodie Turner-Smith recently got candid about raising her biracial daughter Janie whom she shares with husband Joshua Jackson. In an interview with ELLE UK published Monday, the "Queen & Slim" star opened up about her initial hesitancy to becoming a parent and how her 2-year-old mixed-race daughter is "going to have a completely different experience" than she did. "And, throughout my life, I always said if I were to have children, I wanted to have Black, Black babies so that I could affirm them as children with the love that I felt I needed to have been affirmed with by the outside world."
Starbucks' former CEO Howard Schultz on Wednesday denied breaking the law in response to sharp criticism from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who accused the company of "the most aggressive and illegal union busting campaign in the modern history of our country." In response to questions from Sanders during a Senate hearing, Schultz affirmed the right of workers to choose whether to unionize and defended the company's actions.
Thirteen states are on alert for strong winds and heavy snow as a major storm moves east. A major storm hitting the California coast brought damaging winds, heavy rain and heavy snow. The western storm will bring rounds of showers and thunderstorms from the Bay Area to Los Angeles Wednesday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the overdose reversal drug Narcan for over-the-counter use on Wednesday-- a milestone decision that advocates said will make it easier to save lives amid the ongoing opioid epidemic. Narcan, made by the company Emergent BioSolutions, is given as a nasal spray and the active ingredient in the medication -- naloxone -- can quickly restore breathing if someone is experiencing an opioid overdose. The FDA's approval means the medication can now be sold to Americans in places such as drug stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and even online.
Jeremy Renner is opening up on his near-fatal snowplow accident in his first interview since the accident with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer. In a trailer for "Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview -- A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph," airing April 6 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC, the "Avengers" star reflects on the January accident, during which he was run over by his 7-ton snowcat snowplow machine while trying to protect his nephew. "Do you remember the pain?" Sawyer asks, to which Renner replies, "Oh, all of it, yeah, I was awake through every moment."
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has called for prayers in the wake of Monday's deadly mass shooting at a Nashville elementary school, while noting that "there will be a time to talk about the legislation."

Alexander Bello-Ortiz’s mother spoke out Monday about the death of her son after the Daytona Beach Police Department reopened the case last year. The family filed an amended federal lawsuit this month in the U.S. District Court Middle District of Florida, claiming Bello-Ortiz was killed and that the killing was made to look self-inflicted. Daytona Beach police told ABC News the case was reopened “last year when we were advised of new evidence.”
Angelina Cubero said she spent nearly a decade of her life going to doctors, trying to find out why she experienced migraines, brain fog numbness and pain in her legs, and other unexplained symptoms. "I would go to the doctor, I would go to the ER, I would go to urgent cares, I would go to my primary doctor, I'd go to a specialist, another specialist, and I wasn't really getting any answers," Cubero, 27, told "Good Morning America." "They would say, 'You look fine. Cubero, who lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, said it was only three years ago, in 2020, that she underwent a second brain magnetic resonance imaging scan, or MRI, where doctors discovered multiple lesions, or plaques, in her brain.
Family, friends, and civil rights leaders are expected to gather in Chesterfield, Virginia, for the funeral of Irvo Otieno, a 28-year-old Black man who died in custody after authorities say deputies and hospital staff piled on top of him for more than 10 minutes.

A police officer in Huntsville, Alabama, has died, and another remains hospitalized in critical condition, after being shot while responding to a shooting call Tuesday, police said.

"We send our heartfelt condolences to the officer's family as they mourn their loved one who made the ultimate sacrifice."
As the United States reels from yet another mass school shooting, experts warn that young children are suffering from its devastating impacts. A total of three children, all age nine -- as well as three adults -- were killed at the Covenant School in Nashville in what President Joe Biden referred to as "sick" and "heartbreaking." Children can respond in a wide range of ways including being numb to the event, being more angry or irritable, suffering from high anxiety and being fearful of going back to school, according to mental health experts.
Gwyneth Paltrow's two children, daughter Apple Martin and son Moses Martin, had their depositions read on Tuesday during the civil trial regarding the 2016 ski accident involving their mother and Terry Sanderson. Moses Martin, 16, who was 9 at the time of the crash, said in his deposition which was read in court that he “did not see the actual collision happen,” but remembered skiing with his ski instructor, Eric Christiansen, on the Bandana run at Deer Valley Ski Resort in Utah, when he followed Christiansen over to where his mom was.
When Starbucks' most famous former CEO, Howard Schultz, appears Wednesday before a Senate committee to face questioning from Bernie Sanders over the company's response to a unionization push -- including what a labor judge found to be union-busting practices -- he'll look to paint Starbucks as a "different kind of public company" that "balances profitability with social conscience." According to Schultz's prepared testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, reviewed by ABC News, he'll argue that Starbucks has negotiated in "good faith" with employees as they've sought to unionize and obtain collective benefits.
Residents in Philadelphia can safely drink the water following a nearby chemical spill, the city's water department said Tuesday evening. The Philadelphia Department of Water declared that the water is "safe to drink and use" and that the drinking water wasn't affected by Friday's chemical spill in Bucks County. Last week, the city recommended residents use bottled water "out of an abundance of caution" after a pipe ruptured at a chemical plant on Friday.
While the nation's latest mass shooting at a private school in Nashville, Tennessee, seems sadly all too familiar -- so, too, are the now routine responses from congressional lawmakers of both parties. Despite shock over more schoolchildren being gunned down by a mass shooter, politicians in Washington quickly returned to arguments that have become standards in a deadlocked debate. "Don't tell me we can't do more together," Biden added later, sounding more hopeful at an event in North Carolina.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Tuesday that military readiness could be impaired by the growing list of senior military nominations being blocked by Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville over his opposition to a Pentagon abortion policy. "Not approving the recommendation for promotions actually creates a ripple effect with the force that makes us far less ready than we need to be," Austin said responding to a question from Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., during a hearing on the Pentagon's defense budget.
A set of locks for an Ohio River dam in Kentucky is closed due to a "navigational incident" after 10 barges were released from a tugboat, including one barge carrying 1,400 tons of a toxic alcohol compound, officials said. The Army Corp of Engineers said it recovered the barge pinned against the pier by noon Tuesday. The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet said in a tweet that the barge carrying methanol is partially submerged at the McAlpine Locks and Dam in Louisville, Kentucky.
Vice President Kamala Harris started her Tuesday in Ghana looking toward what the future could hold for Africa -- but on Tuesday afternoon, she looked back at the dark history of slavery on the continent, visibly moved by what she had just seen at Cape Coast Castle, where Africans were held captive before being sent to the Americas and Caribbean. "Being here was -- was immensely powerful and moving," Harris said after touring the grounds, her voice breaking with emotion. Harris had a speech prepared for the tour, placed on a stand before she walked out, but afterward an official in the vice president's office said the remarks she actually gave were mostly off the cuff.
