7/7: Britain's prime minster to resign. Highland Park shooter considered second attack. Protesters arrested in Akron.
After defying calls to step down, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally agrees to resign. This comes after a series of scandals, and demands from inside Johnson's own party for his departure. He is still in office for now, until a new leader can be chosen -- but that too could change. Police say the man accused of killing seven people at a July 4th parade thought about carrying out a second attack. A new report on the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas confirms police could have stopped it before 19 children and two teachers were killed. Protests have taken a surprising turn in Akron, Ohio, where officers shot Jayland Walker more than 60 times last week after a traffic stop and foot chase. The Mississippi abortion clinic at the center of a Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade is about to shut down. The state's trigger law banning almost all abortions takes effect today.
