Footage shows police confrontation with Nashville shooter

Authorities on Tuesday released police body camera footage from a deadly shooting at a Nashville elementary school. Police released more than two minutes of surveillance footage Monday, followed by six minutes of body camera video on Tuesday from officers who encountered the shooter. The footage shows officers arriving at the school and entering the building and classrooms with rifles raised as alarms ring. The video ends with the confrontation in an upstairs lobby area, when several shots were fired at the attacker, who went down amid shouts of "stop moving," "suspect down," and "get your hand away from the gun."

Pence ordered to testify in Jan. 6 investigation

A federal judge has ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to provide information to a grand jury as part of a special counsel's investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a person familiar with the matter said. The decision represents a potentially significant blow to the former president's claims that he did nothing wrong while urging Pence to intervene in the certification of President Joe Biden's election. A strategy mapped out by Trump lawyer John Eastman called for Pence to reject electors from seven contested states that Biden won. Pence refused to participate.
