Nashville school shooter hid guns in parents’ house
NASHVILLE — The shooter who killed six people at a school in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday bought seven guns legally and hid them at home, police say.Investigators say the suspect’s parents felt the 28-year-old should not own weapons, and did not realize the guns had been concealed in their house.Six people, including three children age nine, were killed in the attack at the Covenant School. The suspect was under “doctor’s care for an emotional disorder”, police say.And it was the school that was targeted rather than any particular individual, officers revealed. Tennessee has no laws that allow police to seize guns from violent suspects.Despite the absence of such so-called red-flag laws, police said they would still have sought to have the weapons confiscated if authorities...

WASHINGTON — Twitter boss Elon Musk has announced a shake-up of the social media platform's paid Twitter Blue feature.From 15 April only verified subscribers will have posts recommended to other users and be allowed to vote in polls.Under the policy, posts from non-paying accounts will not be included in the "For you" stream of recommended tweets.Last week, the firm said it would remove the verified status of some "legacy" accounts, which date from before Musk bought the firm.Users currently pay $7 (£5.70) a month for blue-tick verification, which also allows access to additional features.Musk said the changes were "the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.""Voting in polls will...
