it s investing 101, reimagined. i m laura coates this is cnn tonight. frankly, our breaking news this hour is awful. we re still trying to find answers what happened in buffalo and get answers to questions in uvalde and now we ve got another mass shooting in america tonight. this time in a medical building on the campus of the st. francis hospital in tulsa, oklahoma, at least four victims are dead, the shooter is also dead. here s video of the early moments of the police response, officer s pulling out their long guns and women who saw emergency vehicles racing to the scene and rifles pulled out couldn t help but get emotional. frankly, it s hard to not be emotional from yet another mass shooting in this country. talking to a city counselmember said the shooter may have been looking for a specific doctor at that campus. as we update you on tulsa we re not going to forget for a moment what s going on in uvalde, texas, how can we? and we re looking at all of the important que
uvalde. how school security roundup in the wake of previous mass murders continue to fail and why all of us are concerns about margins keep getting ignored. and as the architects of america s gun crisis meet at the nra convention going all about the potential for congress. why only in the your country, why isn t only in america? why is this exceptionalism so awful? when all in starts right now. . good evening from new york, i m chris hayes what we know happened at ramallah matthew school in uvalde texas is that 90 children and two teachers were shot and killed. they were murdered by an 18-year-old who purchased two weapons as soon as he was legally able. right after his 18th birthday. there s a lot we do not know. in particular, about the timeline of just what happened on tuesday. they re a lot of outstanding questions about when the police arrived at the scene, how long the shooter was in the building, how long it was before he went into the building, what officer did, o
on tuesday. they re a lot of outstanding questions about when the police arrived at the scene, how long the shooter was in the building, how long it was before he went into the building, what officer did, or crucially, didn t do to stop him. this afternoon, local officials held a press conference and was clear that there are still many holes in the story. we re gonna talk more about that later in the show. but something that i am certain of, is that the most wrongheaded downright dystopian response to the murder in the town of uvalde is to call for quote, hardening schools. we have to harden our schools, not soften them up. the most important thing we can do is harden the schools. harden schools. hardening schools. god help us if we don t harden our schools and protect our kids. you ever notice when that happens, like some nasty new bit of lingo that didn t exist before in all like iran is saying it. clearly there was some memmel, somewhere. that was the enraging
hold up for you, says cities soul crushed. i think that perfectly describes the feeling here in uvalde this morning. behind me is the elementary the school. overnight, a series of crosses were put out, one for each of the 21 victims, the 19 children and the two teachers that were killed here. this small community of 15,000 people is coming together, united in grief for what happened here. about 1000 people attended a vigil for the victims last night. a solo violinist closed with a rare rendition of amazing grace. the music punctuated by the anguish of those who were there. almost everyone at that vigil, it feels like everyone in this town has some connection to the victims. including ten-year-old tests marie mata, who loved tiktok dance is, and ariana grande a. they just received the honor rolled and received a good citizen award. we are just learning about how the mask or unfolded. there are questions about how the timeline and how long it took for law enforcement to step in
friends. i know everybody has been hearing from loved ones. just shock. i got a note this morning from a friend in mississippi. his pastor wrote the congregation yesterday and said, as i write these words, the sun is rising on may 25th, 2022. another day of mourning in america after another mass shooting at another elementary school. as we pray yet again for those whose lives have been torn us under by a troubled soul wielding a deadly weapon, it seems important and necessary to me to say as a christian pastor that we try to find reasonable ways to reduce gun violence, and that is not political. it is moral. the church needs to have a moral compass which can tell the difference between that which is politically partisan and that which is moral. otherwise, our fear of being political may, at times, make us fall silent concerning matters which we should not be silent. as martin luther king jr. once widely said, the day we fall silent about the things that matter is the day our
