Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut has made it his mission to end gun violence. He was driven to act by the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in his home state.
A Mississippi grand jury declined to charge anyone in the drowning death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, despite unexplained injuries noted in autopsy reports. His family, joined by attorney Ben Crump, disputes the ruling and is demanding a federal investigation, while a rapper-led campaign now offers a $1 million reward for credible evidence in the unresolved case.
