mia cerillo covered herself in her friend s blood, pretended to be dead so that she could survive. the hearing comes as pressure mounts on u.s. lawmakers to address a recent string of mass shootings. this afternoon the house will vote on a set of bills that would raise the minimum age to buy a semiautomatic weapon from 18 to 21, ban high capacity magazines and crack down on ghost gun purchases or guns that are not traceable. the bill is unlikely to garner republican support, but a different story is unfolding in the senate where the top democratic negotiator of a bipartisan package of gun bills says a deal could be reached by the end of this week. some issues on the table include addressing mental health, expanding background checks, providing incentives for states to implement red flag laws and strengthening school security. the calls for lawmakers to act got a boost on tuesday afternoon when actor matthew mcconaughey a uvalde native made an emotional plea from the whi ....
