Children have been killed and injured while attending mass at their K-8th grade Minneapolis Catholic school.

Retired FBI agent and FOX News contributor Nicole Parker joins the Rundown to share where the investigation into this mass shooting may lead in the days to come as law enforcement searches for answers. A recent Gallup poll indicates that most Americans now believe moderate drinking is harmful to their health, contributing to a steady decline in alcohol consumption in recent years. Board-certified rheumatologist Dr. Mahsa Tehrani joins the podcast to discuss the link between alcohol use and increased cancer risk, the rise of the "sober curious" movement, and how this shifting public sentiment about alcohol consumption may influence upcoming revisions to the federal dietary guidelines.
