SUMMARY: Vonda, a CVS shift manager, survived the CDC Atlanta shooting by hiding behind the photo lab counter with her manager as gunfire erupted. They remained silent and used the chaos to call 911, though the operator was initially unaware the shooter was inside CVS. Vonda then texted a friend in law enforcement who helped direct first responders. DeKalb County Officer David Rose, who rushed toward the gunfire to protect them, was killed. Though grateful to be alive, Vonda now battles trauma symptoms like ringing in her ears and anxiety. She emphasizes focusing on family while seeking support and therapy, though returning to CVS for sessions remains difficult.

The manager of the CVS across the street from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s main campus in Atlanta recounts the terrifying moments she and her coworkers decide to “run, fight, hide” during an active shooter situation. The gunman opened fire on the CDC buildings from the CVS and eventually entered the store.

SUMMARY: The Dragon Bravo fire is currently the largest wildfire in the United States and one of the largest ever recorded in Arizona, burning over 140,000 acres near the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. The fire has forced the closure of the North Rim, significantly impacting local businesses in towns like Fredonia, Arizona, and Kanab, Utah, which rely on tourist traffic. Business owners report a sharp decline in visitors, with some normally busy spots now nearly empty. The North Rim will remain closed for the rest of the year, while the South Rim and nearby parks stay open, highlighting the wildfire’s significant economic impact.

SUMMARY: At the end of last year, hopes to reschedule marijuana in the U.S. stalled when proceedings paused in January. President Trump recently confirmed his administration is considering reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, recognizing its medical use and lower abuse potential. Rescheduling wouldn’t legalize marijuana federally but would ease research, reduce taxes on businesses, and impose DEA regulations similar to pharmacies. Over three dozen states have legalized medical marijuana, with nearly half allowing recreational use, though some states face rollbacks or regulatory challenges. A bipartisan bill, the STATES 2.0 Act, aims to end federal prohibition and let states set cannabis policies.
