Episode description

The Shelby County Board of Commissioners voted to reappoint Justin J. Pearson back to his seat in the Republican-led Tennessee House of Representatives. It was less than a week ago that the GOP-dominated chamber expelled Pearson along with Justin Jones for their role in a gun protest on the House floor following the shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville where six people died, including three children. Pearson joins AC360 to discuss how it feels to be voted back into his seat. Plus, Louisville officials have released the 911 calls surrounding the deadly bank shooting. CNN Senior Crime and Justice Correspondent Shimon Prokupecz tells Anderson Cooper how one of the officers who first responded to the attack is doing after being shot in the head.
