From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A teenage boy fatally shot two adults and three children inside a home in Albuquerque New Mexico, authorities said.

The teenager, believed to be about 15 years old, was arrested and faces two murder charges and three counts of child abuse resulting in death in connection with the shootings on Saturday night.

Each victim was shot more than once. The victims' identities have not been released, and the boy's motive and connection to them were not known. The Bernalillo County sheriff's spokesman Aaron Williamson said investigators were trying to determine if the victims were related.
