Memphis police on Monday said officers shot a suspect after he attempted to enter a Jewish school with a gun and fired shots after he couldn’t get into the building. Assistant Police Chief Don Crowe said the suspect, whose identity has not been released, approached Margolin Hebrew Academy-Feinstone Yeshiva of the South around 12:20 p.m. He fired several shots and then left in a maroon truck. “Thankfully, that school had a great safety procedure and process in place and avoided anyone being harmed or injured at that scene,” Crowe said. Officers soon found the suspect’s vehicle “shortly after that,” Crowe said, adding that officers then shot the suspect after he exited the truck with a firearm in hand. The suspect was sent to a hospital, where he is in critical condition.

Senator Rand Paul announced an “official criminal referral” to the Department of Justice concerning Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and medical adviser to the president. The referral is based on an email exchange from February 2020, which Paul contends contradicts Fauci’s statements regarding COVID-19 gain-of-function research. In the email, Fauci detailed a call with British medical researcher Jeremy Farrar, expressing concerns about mutations in the virus that seemed unusual to have evolved naturally in bats.
