In 1992, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms opened up an investigation into David Koresh and the rest of the Branch Davidians living in their compound near Waco, Texas. Hoping to find evidence of illegal weapons, the ATF began a series of undercover operations to obtain proof the following January.

Philando Castile

Philando Castile

In the summer of 2016, a police shooting would spark protests all across America. Philando Divall Castile was a 32-year-old African American man that lived in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. A model citizen, Philando also had a concealed carry permit, which legally allowed him to carry a handgun. On July 6th, Philando was pulled over while driving by St. Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who believed that Philando matched the description of a local robbery suspect. Despite being well-documented in audio and video form, the precious moments after Philando was pulled over remain highly contested...

Kimberly Riley & Jeremy Britt-Bayinthavong

Kimberly Riley & Jeremy Britt-Bayinthavong

17 years ago, two lives were lost in a tragic holiday shooting in Tacoma, Washington. On November 28th, 2002, the paths of 19-year-old Kimberly Riley and 5-year-old Jeremy Britt-Bayinthavong would converge at a house in Tacoma's South End. Jeremy was the grandson of the homeowners, who were hosting a large Thanksgiving party, while Kimberly (an out-of-state student attending the University of Washington) was a family friend. As the evening began to die down, a shooter would open fire into the home's windows, shooting Kimberly and Jeremy (alongside two others). Both would eventually succumb to their injuries, and the shooting remains unsolved almost two decades later.
