Vice President JD Vance and Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. are worried about mental health after a church shooting that killed two children. Vance thinks America has a mental health crisis because people take many psychiatric medicines. Kennedy wants scientists to study if antidepressant medicines like Prozac cause violence.

The police chief said they don't know about the shooter's mental health history. Some studies show that these medicines don't cause school shootings. Democrats think gun laws are the problem, not mental health medicines.

This creates a big political debate about what causes mass shootings in America.
