Former President Donald Trump addressed the mass school shooting in Georgia during his Fox News town hall event in a key battleground state, vowing to “heal our world” if he’s re-elected.
“It’s a sick and angry world for a lot of reasons and we’re going to make it better. We’re going to heal our world. We’re going to get rid of all these wars that are starting all over the place because of incompetence,” Trump said Wednesday from the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Fox News’ Sean Hannity, who moderated the town hall, had cited the tragic and fatal shooting that unfolded Wednesday morning in Barrow County, Georgia at a high school, as well as the tight security surrounding Trump’s public events following the assassination attempt on his life in July.
“We’re going to hopefully do very well. We have an election coming up … We’re going to be, I think, we’re going to be very well set up to do a great job,” Trump added.

Lexington, Massachusetts, is gearing up to mark 250 years since Paul Revere’s famous ride next April by installing six horse statues around town.
Saturday, community members were able to help paint one of the six life-size, fiberglass horses being installed at the Munroe Center for the Arts, where the executive director tells us that people really enjoy community art.
Old and young alike are turning out this weekend to paint vibrant colors on the statue named “Billie” — which is the only horse that is a public project in the “Riding Through History” art installation.
The others are being decorated by commissioned, well-known artists (some of whom painted the Cow Parade works throughout Boston).
It’s all part of a big celebration that the Lex250 Commission is putting together, leading up to Patriots’ Day in April.
Lex250, the semiquincentennial celebration of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, is planning a multi-year experience to honor Lexington’s history through a variety of different events, projects, and celebrations, according to its website.
“We have a lot of history here that belongs not just to our town but to the country. And beyond. So we’re celebrating those events in a yearlong inclusion of activities, music, other art projects, historic events, so there’s a lot going on in town,” said Jillian Tung, project lead for “Riding Through History.”
Lex250 says to expect more details about the unveiling of the other horses this fall.

Eli Holstein threw touchdown passes on consecutive drives, Ben Saul kicked a 35-yard field goal with 17 seconds left and Pittsburgh rallied from 21 points down to take a 28-27 win over Cincinnati on Saturday.
Through three quarters, it looked like the Bearcats (1-1) were going to run the Panthers (2-0) out of Nippert Stadium. They dominated Pitt on both sides of the ball and led 27-6.
Pittsburgh faced a third-and-4 deep in their own territory on the game-winning drive, but a delay of game on the Bearcats defense gave the Panthers a first down. A 34-yard completion to wide receiver Konata Mumpfield three plays later moved the Panthers into the red zone and in position for Saul’s winning field goal.
Cincinnati got off to a fast start and led 14-3 after the first quarter. but penalties and special teams mistakes hurt them the remainder of the game.

No weapon was recovered on the girl at the school.
Police investigated and searched the residences of the girl’s parents but did not recover any weapons.
She was taken to Stamford Police headquarters and charged with threatening in the first degree and breach of peace.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to collect more information from Snapchat.
