GUN VIOLENCE AND SCHOOLS
Students are staging walkouts, sporting goods stores are setting age limits for gun purchases, and even our Republican president is talking about limiting access. Could this time be different?
Mass shootings are a fact of life in this country, and last month's tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida set off the series of responses that have become routine: impassioned debate, calls for action on restricting guns. And then, nothing.
KPBS education reporter Megan Burks talks about how mass shootings are affecting policy here, and what schools are doing to keep kids safe.

HORSE RESCUE INVESTIGATION
A North County nonprofit is accused of animal cruelty and fraud. But its owner says she is the victim of a witch hunt.
One issue is her methods. HiCaliber Horse Rescue buys sick and hurt animals at auction, but if they are found to be beyond help or are suffering, she puts them down. She does this with a .22-caliber rifle shot to the head, which, to be fair, is legal. The owner says euthanasia is still rescue, but her critics do not agree.
Inewsource editor Laura Wingard takes us through the investigation and introduces us to HiCaliber's colorful owner.
