Did JD Vance Say School Shootings are a 'Fact of Life'? What We Know

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance referring to school shootings as "a fact of life" has ignited a firestorm of criticism and Republican claims that he was misquoted.

Two students and two teachers were killed at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday morning after a 14-year-old shooter opened fire and went on a rampage before surrendering to school resource officers, authorities said. The mass shooting quickly put gun violence back into the national political spotlight just two months before this year's presidential election.
