Welcome to meet the press now.

0:12.0

I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington, and we begin with breaking news out of Wisconsin,

0:16.8

where authorities have just updated the public after at least two people were killed,

0:20.7

and six others, all students, were injured in a school shooting at a Christian school in Madison.

0:26.7

Authorities say two of the injured students are in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

motive, and they stress the investigation is very much ongoing. Here's a bit of what we heard

1:59.2

where yet another police chief press conference to speak about violence in our community,
