WML Thursday: Gun Control Laws, Reactions, & Box Office Updates

Talk of new gun laws and what it would mean for the American people & April Butler joins to talk about what's hitting the box office.

TOP STORIES

  • Four people are dead and two others are wounded after a man went on a stabbing rampage in Southern California. Police say the suspect killed two people at an apartment complex, a security guard at a 7-Eleven and a person at a Subway restaurant before being arrested outside a 7-Eleven. Authorities have not identified the suspect. There are no known connections between the suspect and the victims. With a country on edge following mass shooting attacks, police noted that the motive in the stabbing spree appears to be robbery. 

  • The latest round of gubernatorial musical chairs in Puerto Rico is finally over, but the political unease will definitely linger. Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez Garced was sworn in yesterday afternoon, just hours after Puerto Rico's Supreme Court effectively ousted attorney Pedro Pierluisi, the handpicked successor of disgraced ex-Gov. Ricardo Rosselló. Rosselló recently resigned amid islandwide protests and unrest. If you're keeping count, that's three governors in less than a week. Neither Pierluisi nor Vázquez were popular choices, and some Puerto Ricans thought Vázquez would take the oath only to name a new secretary of state who could take over as governor. With no clear solution for Puerto Rico's economic woes and political infighting, getting the governor thing settled is just the first step in creating some stability.
