Editorial: Guns are the problem: Four are dead in New York because a gullible public laps up the same toxic myth about guns
This time, the gun death came to New York. The same ridiculous fiction is being sold to a gullible public that was trotted out after Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Parkland, Buffalo and all the others: Guns don't kill people, people kill people. What's more pathetic than those who keep selling that myth is the ease with which so many Americans buy it. Four New Yorkers, Didarul Islam, Wesley LePatner, Aland Etienne and Julia Hyman, went to work in Midtown on a broiling hot Monday and were murdered. Mental illness didn't kill these four. CTE didn't kill these four. A supposed aggrievement in a suicide note didn't kill these four. A semiautomatic assault rifle, identified as either an AR-15 or an M4, killed these four and wounded a fifth, Craig Clementi. The motive of the dead assailant was not what destroyed four lives and ripped apart surviving families and friends. It was a high-powered rifle rapidly firing bullets. Absent the gun, and the victims would all be alive today. But there was a gun, a big gun, with lots of bullets and we are left with grief and the funerals for the four New Yorkers who were taken from us. But it wasn't only the gun, or the gunmakers, or the politicians who peddle the fatal myth. It's the people across our fraying nation who believe that there is somehow something patriotic about having the power to fire off 45 rounds a minute. The Second Amendment says nothing about unstable or sick people having weapons of war. How is that a constitutional right? New York has strong gun control laws, but we don't search people at the border bringing in guns from other states with more lax regulations. Only federal law can bring this insanity to an end, but politicians will decry the killing and do nothing. And tomorrow more people will die. And the day after that. Again. Again. Again. This time the gun death came to New York. Islam was a cop, a 36-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant, pulling in some extra money for his wife and two boys and another baby on the way in a few weeks on what is called paid detail where a private business pays for off-duty uniformed NYPD officers to provide additional security. His wife is now a widow, his two sons fatherless and his new baby is coming into a world without a dad, because of a gun. The gun then killed LePatner, an executive at the big financial firm Blackstone, who was in the lobby at 6:30 likely heading home to her own husband, teen daughter and seventh grader son. Besides being a business whiz, LePatner was a philanthropist helping her kids' school and other charitable causes. She was on the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for not even six months. Now her life is over at age 43, because of a gun. Also murdered in the lobby was Etienne, one of the building's private security officers, a member of 32BJ, the union that staffs New York's commercial buildings. He was just 46 and had two school-aged children. Etienne went to work on Monday and never came home, because of a gun. Clementi was struck with a bullet, but would survive and help cops identify the man wielding the gun. The killer then took an elevator to the 33rd floor and killed one more victim, Hyman, who only graduated college five years ago. Her whole life was ahead of her. No more. Because of a gun. Monday morning, as the city got back to work, Didarul Islam, Wesley LePatner, Aland Etienne and Julia Hyman all converged at 345 Park Ave, at 52nd St., between St. Bart's and the Seagram Building. They all had a purpose for being there. But as the day ended, the gun arrived. It also had a purpose. Its purpose was to kill people quickly. And only the gun fulfilled its purpose on Monday evening. ___

Local leaders to face Texas lawmakers today as questions linger about deadly July 4 flooding
Local leaders in Central Texas will face more tough questions Thursday as state lawmakers – and survivors – press again for information about the responses to July 4 flash flooding that killed at least 136 people. The hearing, at 9:30 a.m. local time, in hard-hit Kerrville follows a 12-hour special hearing last week that saw legislators scrutinize the state's safety preparations – and split over focusing on whether more should have been done before the storm or how efficiently life-saving efforts unfolded. Among those set to testify Thursday is an emergency response official who a colleague has said likely was asleep in the critical hours before the flood, when four months' worth of rain fell and forced the Guadalupe River to rise over 20 feet, sweeping homes, cars, campers and cabins downstream. Three people are still missing as the summer's tragic surge of deadly flash floods across the United States underscores the escalating volatility of the warming planet. Texas' Select Committees on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding are scheduled to hear Thursday from Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. and City Manager Dalton Rice; and Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly, Sheriff Larry Leitha and Emergency Management Coordinator W.B. 'Dub' Thomas. Thomas was likely asleep in the critical morning hours of the deadly flood, Leitha has told CNN. 'I'm sure he was at home asleep at that time,' said the sheriff, who acknowledged he also then was sleeping. Thomas, also a deputy sheriff, has not responded to CNN's repeated requests for comment and declined other such opportunities since the storm. Lawmakers are also set to hear Thursday from leaders of other affected counties and cities, as well as meteorologists, flooding experts and leaders of two mental health resource centers, followed by public testimony, according to the meeting agenda. Last week's hearing included testimony from officials in charge of managing the rivers of the region's 'Flash Flood Alley,' as well as the head of the state's Division of Emergency Management and members of the state's police force, the Department of Public Safety. CNN's Matthew J. Friedman and Rachel Clarke contributed to this reporting.
