It's unclear why this senseless tragedy occurred today, but one thing is certain: the journalists who reported on this shooting and who will print a paper tomorrow are heroes. Not enemies of the people. We need them today, tomorrow and always.
Today marks one year at CNN. Lots of professional growth over the past year... and lots of news. I’m grateful for the opportunities, the experience, mentors and most of all the people.

Trump on self-driving cars: "I guess self-driving cars are becoming a bigger and bigger thing... If you say that's the future, I'm OK with it. It seems very strange when you look over and there's nobody behind a car going 60 miles an hour, but when you say it, I'm good with it."
Harris believes it's another example of Trump's incompetence. She believes he doesn't grasp the importance of the job, which "should be to lift people up, not to keep beating people down." She says that's the only thing he knows how to do. "That's a sign of weakness," she says.
