Good evening. Here’s the latest at the end of Tuesday.

1. The Nashville school shooter used three guns that had been purchased legally.

The assailant, who yesterday shot and killed three adults and three 9-year-olds at a Christian elementary school, had legally purchased seven firearms recently, including all three that were used in the attack, authorities said.

Police said that the shooter, whom they identified as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, was being treated for an emotional disorder. They added that the assailant’s parents believed that their child “should not own weapons” and no longer did after selling one. Here’s what we know about Hale.

Body cam footage showed police officers racing through the school, past children’s artwork hanging on the walls, and ultimately killing the shooter. It took the police 14 minutes from the time they received the first report of an attack to arrive and shoot the assailant.

The authorities have now identified all of the victims: Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney and Hallie Scruggs, all 9 years old; Mike Hill, a school custodian; Cynthia Peak, a substitute teacher; and Katherine Koonce, the head of school.

For more: The Gun Violence Archive has counted at least 130 mass shootings in the U.S. this year. Here’s a partial list.

2. A federal judge ordered Mike Pence to testify before a grand jury investigating Donald Trump.

The judge, James Boasberg, said that Pence, the former vice president, must appear in front of a grand jury looking into Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, largely sweeping aside efforts by both Pence and Trump to limit his testimony.

He added that Pence would have to testify about any potentially illegal acts committed by Trump, while affirming that Pence had some protections against testifying about his role in the certification of the election inside the Capitol.

Prosecutors have long been seeking to compel Pence to testify about the former president’s demands that he use his ceremonial role overseeing the congressional count of Electoral College votes to block or delay certification of Trump’s defeat.

3. A fire in Mexico killed at least 39 people at a migration center near the U.S. border.

The blaze broke out in a government-run facility in Ciudad Juárez, a border city across from El Paso, Texas, late last night. Mexico’s president said it had been sparked when detainees from Central and South America set their mattresses on fire in an apparent protest against their planned deportation.

The Mexican authorities are now conducting an investigation to determine whether to bring criminal charges against any officials.

The fire, which left 29 survivors seriously injured, came as Mexican border cities have been flooded with migrants turned away from the U.S., while more arrive from other countries, many hoping to cross after a pandemic-era public health rule expires in May.

4. Questioned by senators, federal regulators blamed mismanagement for bank failures.

Faced with intense questions from lawmakers about the government’s role in preventing the kind of bank collapses that have shaken the economy, regulators said they need more power to police the industry. They also indicated that the Fed could have done more to elevate concerns about bank mismanagement to its top leadership.

One Federal Reserve official suggested over the weekend that the recent turmoil in the banking industry made a recession more likely.

In other business news, the U.S. accused Sam Bankman-Fried of bribing Chinese officials, and prosecutors raided France’s biggest banks in a tax-fraud sweep.

Also, Alibaba, China’s e-commerce giant, will split into six units.

5. Struggling to capture new ground, Russian forces destroy Ukrainian cities.

In Avdiivka, a town in eastern Ukraine where just a few hundred people remain, the shelling barely stops. Residents hide in basements as Russian strikes hammer the town.

Moscow’s attempt to capture the area, which includes Bakhmut, began more than a year ago. It has recently intensified, but the Russians have been unable to capture any major towns during the push. My colleagues visited Avdiivka just hours before the Ukrainian military declared it off-limits, finding it largely reduced to rubble.

In other news from the war, the former director of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant gave a harrowing account of abuse of Ukrainian workers and careless practices by the Russians who took control of the facility.

Also, Belarus said it was willing to host Russian nuclear weapons.

6. The political crisis in Israel is testing the U.S. stance on global democracy.

Overshadowing a speech President Biden plans to give tomorrow at the White House-led Summit for Democracy, the government of Israel is moving to weaken the country’s judiciary. The move, characterized as antidemocratic by opponents, is the latest test of the administration’s pushback against autocratic practices.

Biden and his advisers bombarded the Israeli government with warnings about the plan. After Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced yesterday he would delay it, the U.S. ambassador to Israel said Biden would grant Netanyahu a long-sought meeting.

For more: Netanyahu is known as a master political escape artist. But this might be his toughest act yet.

7. Republican-led states are split on Medicaid.

North Carolina this week became the 40th state to expand the health insurance program for low-income people under the Affordable Care Act, making an additional 600,000 people eligible now that the state’s Republicans have dropped their yearslong opposition.

Ten states, all with Republican-led legislatures, continue to reject the federal Medicaid funding. Medical officials in Mississippi said that the state government’s stance is causing hospitals to close under financial pressure.

In other health news, American hospitals are increasingly crowded with children brought in for suicidal or self-harming behavior, a large study showed.

Also, the F.D.A. is expected to soon allow Narcan, the lifesaving overdose-reversal medication, to be sold over the counter.

8. Will ChatGPT take your job?

Many white-collar professionals have begun to tinker with A.I. chatbots, and some have been left horrified by the tool’s ability to speed through tasks like writing or coding. Others are excited by A.I.’s potential to make their work easier.

The Democratic National Committee has experimented with using A.I. to write first drafts of some fund-raising messages. In tests, the A.I.-generated content as often as not performed as well as or better than copy drafted entirely by humans in terms of generating engagement and donations.

Test yourself: Do you know how ChatGPT really works? (If not, here’s an explanation.)

10. And finally, it’s a good time to look like King Charles.

Widespread interest in Britain’s royal family has allowed for a cast of impersonators to build thriving careers, perhaps imitating Queen Elizabeth II, or her grandson William, at celebrations and corporate events. But until last year, Charles look-alikes often played second fiddle.

That changed when the queen died and Charles acceded to the throne in September. Charles impersonators said that their bookings have soared, allowing them to increase their rates and, for the first time, receive a monarch’s recognition.

Have a regal night.
