Gun Violence in America (July 12 - 19)

Violent crime typically rises in the summer, but as the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, experts are sounding the alarm that this season will see a further rise in gun crimes. How are communities across the United States tackling the problem?

Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos will make history and ride his own rocket into space on July 20 — National Space Exploration Day — and the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Bear witness to history with two days of special news coverage, culminating in Blue Origin’s launch to space.
