In other pressing headlines, four Republican presidential candidates duked it out in an explosive debate last night — and [we've got all the takeaways](.

Here's what when down when South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy [took to the debate stage for the fourth time last night](. Trump came up, finally: The candidates have previously tended to avoid mention of Donald Trump, who was absent yet again. Last night, that changed. Christie called him a "dictator," and pushed DeSantis to say whether he thought the former president was fit for office. "We should not nominate someone who is almost 80 years old," DeSantis replied. Haley became a target: Haley's recent success in the polls was reflected in the number of shots taken at her. Ramaswamy called her “lipstick on a Dick Cheney,” while DeSantis said she “caves every time the left comes after her.” Here's how Haley fired back, plus the scoop on a thorny culture war, some sticky conspiracy theories, and the [kind words from Christie that prompted Ramaswamy to retort: "Get the hell out of this race."]( [READ MORE]( PASS THIS STORY ALONG: mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Wake-Up%20Call%21&body=https%3A%2F%2Fkatiecouric.com%2Fnews%2Ftakeaways-from-the-fourth-gop-debate%2F   More Stories [A message reading ''#UNLVStrong #VegasStrong'' is displayed at Allegiant Stadium on December 06, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada]( Getty Images Violence in Las Vegas: Three victims are dead and a fourth is wounded after a mass shooting on the University of Nevada campus yesterday.

His name won't be disclosed until his family has been notified. “What happened today is a heinous, unforgivable crime… If it hadn’t been for the heroic actions of one of those police officers who responded, there could have been countless additional lives taken,” Sheriff Kevin McMahill said. Brown pleads: Former NFL player Sergio Brown has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and concealment of a dead body in the death of his 73-year-old mother, Myrtle Brown. Brown and his mother were reported missing on September 16, and her body was discovered near their shared home in a Chicago suburb.
