The spilled beverage was dripping into the seams, so a crowd of parents rushed to open the table and mop up the liquid pooling within.

They are only the second jury in American history to find a parent guilty after their child went on a shooting spree at a school. It is an important step forward in what CNN calls a growing nationwide effort 'to hold more people accountable for a school shooting, including the shooter's parents and responding law enforcement officers.'

Trump officials continue to push lies after fatal shooting of Alex Pretti

In the moments after federal officers shot Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti dead, Trump administration figures almost immediately made public statements in press conferences, televised interviews and social media posts that were at best indifferent to the evidence available at the time and at worst completely fabricated. A pattern is emerging, in which the Trump administration prioritizes the vilification of the dead victim as to blame for the incident over preserving the neutrality of any investigative process.
