A worker shoots three co-workers at a South L.A. senior living facility

Good morning. The biggest story today comes from South Los Angeles, where police say an employee at a senior assisted living facility opened fire and wounded three of his co-workers. One person has been arrested. The reports so far focus on the workers who were hurt, not the residents, and the exact reasons for the shooting have not been made clear.

Beyond that shocking event, several stories point to a quieter, longer-term worry: there may not be enough places to care for us as we age. Reports say nursing home beds are becoming harder to find, both nationally and in New York, even as the number of people needing long-term care keeps rising.

Politics and money round out the day. Medicare for All is back in the conversation, and there are new guides to how Medicare and Medicaid will work in 2026. For anyone laid off before they turn 65, there is also advice on bridging the gap until Medicare begins.
