Accountability, loss and public health urgency define the day’s health headlines. In Georgia, the father of the Apalachee High School shooter was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted over providing the rifle used in the attack, a closely watched case that marks a major step in efforts to hold parents criminally responsible when warning signs are missed and weapons are supplied. Off Portugal’s southern coast, hope faded for British surfer Arran Strong as authorities halted their search near Arrifana Beach, prompting tributes to the athlete, now presumed dead. In eastern Congo, officials say the Ebola death toll has surged past 1,500 in what is being described as the fastest-growing outbreak on record there, underscoring the gap between the disease’s spread and containment efforts. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV struck a global note, saying he loves the United States but sees himself as pope first.
