An 11-year-old boy is dead after a shooting at a Minneapolis park. It’s the second deadly shooting at a city park this month. We talk to the Minneapolis Park Police chief about what he thinks is behind the violence and what he's doing to keep parks safe.

The entire CDC vaccine advisory panel was fired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The new members meet for the first time today. We hear how this panel’s decisions could impact vaccine access.
