"DOJ Uvalde Report: Grand Jury Examines School Massacre Response"

A grand jury in Uvalde, Texas, has begun to examine the response to the 2022 school massacre at Robb Elementary School, following a Justice Department report that highlighted "unimaginable" failures in the police response. The district attorney, Christina Mitchell, intends to present evidence to the grand jury, potentially leading to state criminal charges over the botched police response. Family members of the victims and survivors have long criticized the police's handling of the shooting, and the grand jury may determine if any officers broke the law by delaying their confrontation of the teenage gunman for 77 minutes.

"DOJ Meets Uvalde Victims' Families Before Releasing Massacre Response Report"

US Attorney General Merrick Garland met with families of Uvalde school massacre victims ahead of the Department of Justice's release of a report on law enforcement's response to the tragedy. The families were briefed on some findings, with grief counselors present, but some expressed disappointment at not hearing anything new. The DOJ aims to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses, identify lessons learned, and offer a roadmap for community safety. The community is still grappling with the 77-minute delay in stopping the gunman and hopes the report will validate their concerns.

Suspected rebel attack on Ugandan school leaves dozens dead.

At least 41 people, mostly students, were killed and six others were abducted when about 20 members of the ISIS-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebel group attacked a school in western Uganda. The ADF began fighting against the government after being founded in the mid-90s and was sanctioned by the United States and the United Nations in 2014 for terrorist activities in the region, including attacks on children. The military suspects more dead bodies may be found, but said there was no one still alive trapped in the school.

Ugandan school targeted in deadly rebel attack.

At least 41 people, including 38 students, were killed in an attack by suspected rebels on a secondary school near the border with Congo. The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group that has been launching attacks for years from their bases in volatile eastern Congo, carried out the raid on Lhubiriha Secondary School in the border town of Mpondwe. The ADF has been accused of launching many attacks in recent years, targeting civilians, in remote parts of eastern Congo.
