Authorities say three teens were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, including the suspected shooter, on Wednesday. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says the shooting was reported around 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, about 30 miles west of Denver. It is not clear what led up to the shooting or how the suspected shooter, believed to be a student at the school, was shot. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said none of the law enforcement officers who responded to the shooting is believed to have fired any shots.
“It is far easier & far more efficient to stop the #crime gun pipeline at its source & to turn off the spigot,” said Jonathan Lowy, president of Global Action on #GunViolence & a longtime litigator against the gun industry who has worked on the case on behalf of #Mexico.
The #GunManufacturers, joined by a slew of gun groups including the #NRA, have argued the lawsuit would undermine gun rights in the #UnitedStates.

The dispute comes before the justices at a time of heightened tension between the 2 countries as the #Trump admin leans on #Mexico to crack down on illegal #immigration & cartel organizations. #Tariffs on imported goods from Mexico are scheduled to go into effect on Tuesday — the same day the justices are set to consider the guns lawsuit.

The case reverses longstanding complaints by #Trump that Mexican cartels have contributed to rising #violence in the #UnitedStates. Instead, #Mexico argues the majority of #guns found at Mexican #crime scenes come from the US. It seeks some $10 billion in damages from #US #GunManufacturers.

During the speech, #Trump repeated a pledge to fire the director of the Bureau of #Alcohol, #Tobacco, #Firearms & #Explosives, known as the #ATF, on Day One of a potential administration. He accused that agency, which enforces #UnitedStates #GunLaws, of being heavy-handed w/ #FirearmOwners & revoking licenses on frivolous grounds.

The address to thousands of #NRA members at the group's annual Leadership Forum in Dallas was *light* on new #policy, but he used the platform to urge #gun supporters to go to the polls in the Nov #election.
"We've got to get gun owners to vote," #Trump said in his *wide-ranging* *speech*, which covered everything from his #criminal trials to #trade & #immigration over >90 mins.

#Trump pledges to 'roll back' Democratic President Joe #Biden’s #gun #regulations put in place by Democratic President Joe #Biden & to fire the #ATF chief during a lengthy rally speech to the #NRA on Sat, during which he accepted the influential group's #endorsement.
