[0:00] handle people at work who stress you

[0:02] out. Tomorrow at 9:00

[0:07] on World News Tonight this Tuesday,

[0:09] another mystifying shooting at a school.

[0:11] The shooters were very young. We'll take

[0:13] a closer look at school violence in

[0:15] general. The president's day in Africa

[0:18] nagged by questions about executive
