Summary
Six people – including three young children – were killed in a shooting at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee. Police say the shooter, a 28 year-old, was a former student, and was armed with two assault rifles and a handgun.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to pause a plan to overhaul the country's judicial system until the next parliamentary session next month. The decision comes amid widespread protests against the reforms, which critics say undermine Israel’s democracy.
And in headlines: millions of transportation workers in Germany walked off the job, Hungary’s parliament overwhelmingly voted to allow Finland to join NATO, and North Carolina-based First Citizens Bank & Trust agreed to take over Silicon Valley Bank.
