ruben ruiz, who was mocked on social media for checking his phone. state representative joe moody said ruiz is the husband of murdered teacher eva mireles, who reached out from her classroom while he was on-scene to say that she'd been shot and was dying. moody said he could not allow someone who had lost everything to be maligned. now, whit, the committee report is going to incorporate accounts from three dozen witnesses. most of them have not spoken publicly. and while much of the blame has fallen on the shoulders of the chief of the tiny uvalde school police force, we're told the committee report is going to be far more sweeping. whit? >> we know family members are eager for details in that report. aaron, thank you. tonight, the race is on to stop the global rise in monkeypox cases. here at home, frustration for thousands across the country seeking vaccines. the government promising to ramp up the number of available doses by the end of the month. abc's phil lipof is in new york. >> reporter: tonight, concern as
