crisis looms. i want to find a reasonable and a responsible way that we can take control of this runaway spending. all of these officers failed their oath. we need a national conversation about policing. the question is where do we go from here? parents send their kids back to school tomorrow for the first time since that shooting in early january. am i 100% comfortable sending him back? no. i m pamela brown in washington, and you are live in the cnn newsroom. the fate of the u.s. economy may hinge on a meeting this wednesday between president biden and newly elected gop house speaker kevin mccarthy. it has been a little more than a week since the treasury department announced the u.s. government has reached its borrowing limit. if the the debt ceiling isn t raised, the u.s. could start defaulting on its loans. i know the president said he didn t want to have any discussions, but i think it s very important that our whole government s designed to find compro
why officers failed to enter the school while the attacker was still firing. those shots audible from the outside. here s what we do know at 11:8 a.m. central time, the suspect crashed into a ditch near the school. there is a picture there. he exited the vehicle and fired at two witnesses across the street. at 11:40 a.m., he entered through the west side of the building. there is the video there. two minutes later a teacher sent a text message saying there was an active shooter at the school. it was not until 11:43 that school officials announced they were under lockdown, one minute later, officers entered the school, were shot and and retreated as they called for further forces to join them. it was not until 12 n. 44, one hower later, a tactical team of border patrol uvalde police department made entry and finally shot the suspect. there are several questions, hard questions. understandable ones that have yet to be answered. this morning, inside the classroom with these chil
