The 18-year-old who was shot at Evergreen High School last month has finally been released from the hospital, and his family is revealing more about what he’s been through. Then, Colorado has become the first state in the U.S. to set a price cap for a specific medication, to try to crack down on the high cost of medicines. Plus, a local company that supplies voting machines to a big chunk of the country has new owners, and that’s raising concerns among Democrats and Republicans.
