Weekend Roundup

Miscellaneous


Another mass shooting has rocked the nation...this time in Indianapolis...where a gunmen opened fire at a FedEx facility killing at least eight people, before taking his own life. CBS's Charlie De Mar has the latest. The CDC held an emergency meeting regarding the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. All 50 states have halted the distribution after six women developed blood clots, which resulted in at least one death. Allison speaks with Vanderbuilt University Medical Center infectious disease professor Dr. William Schaffner, who was among the experts at the CDC meeting, and provides a breakdown of the science behind the pause. There was testimony on Capitol Hill this week, over massive failures by Capitol police ahead of that deadly riot in January. CBS's Nikole Killion tells Allison the security upgrades being suggested could cost about 2 billion dollars. President Biden made major announcements this week, including sanctions against Russia, and bringing troops home from Afghanistan. CBS's Christina Ruffini tells us more. The murder trial against former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged in the death of George Floyd, wrapped its second week. As CBS's Jamie Yuccas reports, Chauvin declined to take the stand in his own defense. Closing arguments are set for Monday. Meanwhile, less than ten miles from that courtroom, , there are protests over the killing of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man fatally shot by white police officer, Kim Potter, who drew her gun instead of a taser. CBS's Omar Villafranca tells Allison there are calls for stronger charges against her. Adriana Diaz reports from Chicago, where there's outrage over the video of fatal police shooting of a 13-year-old Latino boy. C In this Unifying America edition of the Kaleidoscope, Allison speaks with Bishop Richard Howell Junior, who has opened the historic Black Shiloh Temple as a "safe space" for people to process their feelings about the Chauvin trial, the police shootings of black individuals, and the protests that followed.
