Our new team’s first project! @chrishnews analyzed crime data and found murders of white victims being solved way more than minorities. @HaleyRushNews Worked on this project as well.
A CBS News and Stations investigation just unearthed a startling trend: arrests in murder cases across the U.S. are at a 50-year low. And when a murder victim is Black, their case is even more likely to remain unsolved. https://t.co/MWWltkFOIr

Our latest for @CBSNews: While most talk about protecting kids in school shootings focuses on solutions like hardening buildings & arming teachers, out analysis found that doesn’t protect the areas where most kids are dying. @StephenStockTV @nicolevap https://t.co/0XcHHc6SVu

CBS News analysis of data on every U.S. school shooting since 1966 found many safety steps taken by school administrators don't address a significant threat to students and teachers.

It’s the hottest part of summer in Texas and across the South. Why don’t more ambulance services follow the gold standard of treating overheated patients? @CBSNews @MedStarEMSInfo @K_S_Institute @zachmfoundation
National recommendations call for cooling heat stroke patients before transporting them to the hospital, but as @DavidSchechter found out, only 11 states require ambulance services to follow this life-saving protocol.
