Guns

After Uvalde’s horrific school shooting, state lawmakers demanded every public school in Texas be protected by armed security. Legislators approved $15,000 per campus, a fraction of the real cost. And as schools begin to open statewide, districts are scrambling for qualified people.

Since the permitless carry law passed in 2021, Texans have not needed a license to carry a gun. But gun instructors and some gun owners still see the benefits in taking the classes necessary to obtain a license.

What leads to these tragedies, and how can they be prevented?

A book sent home with some Dallas ISD students teaches them what to do in a dangerous situation at school.

Texas is still reeling from the state's deadliest school shootings. Will new school safety plans prevent another tragedy?

Federal law protects the firearms industry from many lawsuits, but Uvalde parents are putting the laws to the test by suing a gun manufacturer over the way they market their weapon.

“I’m angry, and I’m not going to give up,” Nikki Cross, the mother of 10-year-old Uvalde shooting victim Uziyah, recently told a group of gun control advocates.

Irvin Walker was one of seven injured victims of Saturday's shooting at an Allen mall, six of whom remain in the hospital. Their conditions range from good to critical, according to a Wednesday statement from a Medical City Healthcare spokesperson.

While the gunman expressed white supremacist beliefs, law enforcement officials stopped short of prescribing it as a motive.

Law enforcement officials said the shooter spouted neo-Nazi ideology. He killed eight people in the mass shooting.

The founder of iWeatherNet, a Facebook page and website that posts updates about Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta-area weather, commented about being armed and impatient when a child rang his doorbell.
