The Uvalde gunman reportedly shared three messages on Facebook before shooting his grandmother in the face and then killing 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a press conference Wednesday, May 25. Abbott said the messages were, at this time, the “only information that was known in advance” about the shooting. Approximately 30 minutes before Salvador Ramos reached Robb Elementary, according to Abbott, he shared a message that effectively read, “I’m going to shoot my grandmother.” The second message stated, “I shot my grandmother.” And the third message, which Abbott said went up less than 15 minutes before he arrived at the school, read, “I’m going to shoot an elementary school.” (While Abbott originally described the gunman’s words as “posts,” Meta Policy Communications Director Andy Stone later clarified that the shooter’s statements were made in private messages, not as public posts.) Abbott offered one of the most … [Read more...] about Uvalde Gunman Posted About Shooting Grandmother, School on Facebook Before Deadly Attack

Out in the jungle, no one can hear you dragging a body around. Mind you, nobody notices much what you do in the city, either. Colombian director Andres Ramirez Pulido ’s debut feature, La Jauria , screening in Critics’ Week at Cannes, opens with a grab-bag of images familiar from current Latin American cinema — a couple of teenage boys in neon-lit urban darkness, some elaborate sniffing and nose-wiping, a bike that shouts “stolen” as they careen down a highway — but soon detours into stranger and much more remote territory. One thing you can be sure of: wherever they are, these boys are going to be in trouble. Where they are, once that opening sequence has set a scene that will immediately be ripped from beneath our feet, is mysterious. Eliu (Jhojan Estiven Jiminez) previously seen under a streetlight with a bottle in his hand, is one of a gang working around a decrepit hacienda, emptying a stagnant swimming pool of weeds under the sun before going into a clearing to … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Andres Ramirez Pulido’s ‘La Jauria’

The man who gunned down 19 children and 2 adults in the latest shooting massacre was telegraphing his deadly plan to a random woman on social media ... weeks before his act. The messages have surfaced online from what appears to be a female minor in Los Angeles -- who says the 18-year-old suspect DM'd her on May 12 out of the blue and for no apparent reason at all ... explaining she has no idea who he is or why he reached out. The alleged shooter tagged her in a photo he posted of his guns -- including what seem to be semi-automatic rifles that resemble AR-15s -- and then proceeded to start a private chat. Of the many disturbing DMs he sent, this one was the most chilling ... "I got a lil secret I wanna tell u. I'm about to..." Apparently, he never revealed his exact intentions -- dancing around the subject/playing coy as the girl engaged him ... totally confused and flabbergasted. The man went back and forth with her for a while, … [Read more...] about Texas Shooter Sent Messages to L.A. Girl Before Onslaught, ‘Got a Secret’

UPDATE 8:48 AM PT -- Johnny just discussed Amber's accusation that he took a handful of MDMA pills during the former couple's trip to Australia in 2015. Heard had previously testified he took 8-10 at once ... Johnny says he's only taken MDMA 6-7 times in his life total. UPDATE Depp's attorney asked him directly if he's ever taken 8-10 pills at once, to which he replied, "No, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead, I think one would die, rather quickly." Johnny Depp is back on the stand for questioning in the nasty back-and-forth trial between him and his ex-wife Amber Heard . Heard's legal team just called Johnny back to answer a series of questions, as we reported, he already testified a few weeks back ... but Amber's accused the actor of additional things -- including assault -- which he will now get to answer to. Johnny's return to the stand may cause the trial to go even longer than expected. As we've reported, the allegations leveled … [Read more...] about Johnny Depp Back on the Stand in Amber Heard Trial

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was absolutely livid before his team's playoff game Tuesday night ... pleading with politicians across the nation to do something after a mass shooting at an elementary school left at least 19 children and 2 adults dead. "When are we going to do something?" 56-year-old Kerr started off his impassioned speech. "I'm tired. I'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there." "I'm tired of the moments of silence. Enough!" he added. Kerr then went on to rip senators who refuse to vote on HR8 -- a bill that requires a background check for every firearm sale -- accusing the politicians of choosing to hold onto power instead of protecting the lives of children, the elderly and churchgoers. "I'm fed up. I've had enough," Kerr said. "But, I want every person here, every person listening to this to think about your own child, your own grandchild, or mother, father, sister, brother. … [Read more...] about Steve Kerr Rips Politicians After Mass Shooting In Texas, ‘I’ve Had Enough’

The first hours after a mass shooting are often awash in disinformation, as Internet hacks try to piece together a portrait of the killer. Frequently, the worse the information, the faster it spreads — because the sloppy sleuthing appeals to the prejudices of those determined to blame the deadly violence on anything but guns . On Tuesday evening, such foul disinformation — about the heinous crime that killed 19 students at the Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas — was promoted by a Republican member of Congress. Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona tweeted that the shooter was a “transexual leftist illegal alien named Salvatore Ramos.” At least Gosar got the last name right. The gunman, identified by authorities as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was reportedly born in North Dakota . Little is known about his politics, or motivation for the shooting. As for the trans part? That was a malicious rumor born in the fever swamps of the message board 4chan. (Gosar — himself a right-wing … [Read more...] about From 4Chan to Congress: How a Hateful Anti-Trans Lie About the Uvalde Shooter Went Viral

“Who will say on this network or any other network in the next few days, ‘It’s time to repeal the Second Amendment ’?” Michael Moore asked MSNBC host Chris Hayes today. “Oh, you can’t say that,” he imagined Americans replying. “Well why not?” asked Moore. The Oscar-winning Bowling for Columbine filmmaker posed the question as the nation was still reeling from the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas yesterday in which 19 children and two adults were killed. “Look, I support all gun control legislation. Not sensible gun control. We don’t need the sensible stuff. We need the hardcore stuff that’s going to protect ourselves and our children,” he said. “We won’t acknowledge that we are a violent people to begin with. This country was birthed in violence with the genocide of the native people at the barrel of a gun. This country was built on the back of slaves with a gun to their back…We do not want to acknowledge our two original sins here that have a gun behind … [Read more...] about Michael Moore Tells MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, “It’s Time To Repeal The Second Amendment”

As the gut-wrenching news that 19 children and two teachers were killed in their Uvalde, Texas school on Tuesday, a few people remarked grimly on social media that it was time, once more, to post The Headline. “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens” was written in the days following the 2014 stabbing and shooting rampage that left six people dead and more than a dozen others wounded in Isla Vista, California and has been published 21 times since, each following a mass shooting. On Wednesday, t he Onion ‘s homepage featured all the past stories — nearly identical but for the datelines that mark the site of the carnage and photos that accompany them — and linked all the prior pieces in a long Twitter thread .
