About this episode
The episode covers a shooting incident in Midland, Texas, severe weather threats across the U.S., and SpaceX's market debut making Elon Musk a trillionaire.
On Wednesday, a 45-year-old gunman opened fire on police in Midland, Texas, allegedly refusing to surrender to police. He fled, finally barricading himself in an abandoned veterinary building and shooting wildly. All of those shot were civilians. The gunman was found dead on Friday, with the FBI and state agencies investigating. Nearly 80 million people in the U.S. are still facing the threat of powerful storms, and about the same number are sweltering in brutal heat. SpaceX's market debut made Elon Musk a trillionaire on Friday. The company has also minted thousands of new millionaires.
