Four people are dead—two teachers and two students—and nine others were transported to local hospitals following a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia on Wednesday. Authorities say the 14-year-old suspect, who is in custody, will be charged with murder as an adult. Rose talks with WABE criminal justice reporter Chamian Cruz about the latest details in the ongoing investigation. 

 

Plus, we revisit our series focusing on the work of independent and third-party groups amid the 2024 presidential election cycle. First, Rose talks with Gerald Green of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Gloria Mattera, the media committee coordinator for the Green Party and Britney Whaley, the southeast regional director for the Working Families Party. The full interviews can be found here and here.
