- FBI Director Kash Patel told senators the bureau is investigating whether anyone aided the shooter, and House Oversight plans to question tech executives about online radicalization.
- The Texas Education Agency says it is reviewing more than 280 complaints about educators’ social media posts, as districts report firings, resignations and leave, and Texas Tech police arrested a student after a viral video at a memorial.
- Vice President JD Vance blamed "left-wing political radicalization" for the killing, while GOP strategist Karl Rove warned against using the death to justify crackdowns on political opponents.
