1 Mass Murder In Indianapolis
Police say six are dead in what locals are calling the worst shooting the city has seen in over a decade. Among those who died were a pregnant woman and her unborn child. Officers found the bodies in a home after a boy, who has neither been named nor his age given, was found outside with a gunshot wound. He's the only survivor of the shooting. While police aren’t giving many details citing an ongoing investigation, they did confirm that those found dead at the scene were 42-year-old Kezzie Childs, 42-year-old Raymond Childs, 18-year-old Elijah Childs, 13-year-old Rita Childs, and 19-year-old Kiara Hawkins, as well as her unborn child. Investigators believe there were multiple shooters and that it was a targeted killing and Police Chief Randal Taylor called the killing "a different kind of evil.” The violence wasn’t contained to this one scene, however. Officials confirm that this incident was one of several that happened across the city in a span of less than five hours. At least seven people have been hospitalized in addition to those killed.
2 CDC Director Talks Supply, Distribution Challenges With Vaccines
The new CDC director says there are challenges both in the supply and distribution of the coronavirus vaccines. Dr. Rochelle Walensky tells “Fox News Sunday that supply will be a big problem early on, but she's hopeful of more vaccines coming down the pike. Walensky also addressed distribution as she noted she can't say how much vaccine there is at this moment. She said that's a problem because governors and state health officials are then left in the dark.
3 Article Of Impeachment Will Be Sent To Senate Today
The House article of impeachment against former President Trump will be sent to the Senate today. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the trial itself will begin the week of February 8th. As we’ve been telling you, the impeachment article accuses the now-former President of inciting the violent and deadly attack on the Capitol on January 6th. And while Democrats are the majority in the Senate, this isn’t a question of a simple majority. In fact, two-thirds vote of the Senate will be required to convict the former President – that means 17 Republicans would have to join Democrats in voting yes. How that vote will go is really anyone’s guess. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar supports the impeachment trial, but doesn’t want lawmakers to lose sight of other important business. In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” she says the Senate needs to do other things in addition to holding former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. That includes more coronavirus relief and confirming President Biden's Department of Homeland Security secretary are critical. She thinks the Senate could conduct the trial in the afternoon while confirming Biden's nominees in the morning, and passing bills at night. Utah Senator Mitt Romney is hopeful the Senate holds a quick impeachment Romney isn’t tipping his hand on what he may decide as he said senators haven't heard from either side yet. It’s worth noting, however, that Romney was the only Republican senator to vote to convict Trump during his first impeachment trial last year. But Florida Senator Marco Rubio? He is no fan of the upcoming trial. During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, the Republican described the trial as "stupid” and compared it to pouring more gas on the fire. Rubio thinks the trial will be bad for the country. Not surprisingly, he also promised he'll vote to end it when he gets the chance.
