Good morning. Welcome to Axios today. It's Thursday, January 26th. I'm Nailibutu.

Today on the show, Germany and the US agree to send tanks to Ukraine. But first,

mouse shootings are keeping parents in a cycle of fear. We hear from an expert and from you.

That's today's one big thing.

Yesterday, we talked about the cycle we're all in with shootings and how that's prompting

fear, stress, and anxiety. And we asked you to share how this is affecting you and your behavior.

And we heard from so many of you, especially parents. Here's what some of you had to say.

Just to know, some of this is tough to listen to.

I feel sad and helpless knowing that I don't think anything's ever going to change honestly.

What makes me scared is knowing that my two-year-old son is going to be going to school in a few years.

And I would just be absolutely destroyed if anything were to happen to him.

I live in a small town in Idaho with about 10,000. And you might think that nothing's going to happen here,

but you look at Evaldi in a small town like that. And you just never know what could happen.

And so I just live in fear in Iowa, westway from Texas.

Done violence has definitely changed the way we think about events that we could attend.

We were very excited to go and see the new little mermaid movie that comes out in May.

We're afraid to go and see it in the theater. We're going to have to watch it at home.

Hi, my name is April. I'm 31 and I am from Tennessee.

And I would say that the pair of mashing says affect my life tremendously.

I have a seven-year-old who is in first grade.

He'll guilty every single day for sending him to public school.

Yes, I don't know if he's safe.
