NBC Nightly News” and “CBS Evening News” dispatched their anchors to Santa Fe, Texas to cover the latest school shooting — with “ABC World News Tonight” covering the story from Windsor, England, where it had sent anchor David Muir in preparation for tomorrow’s coverage of the royal wedding.

“Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt anchored the broadcast from along a road with parked cars and small buildings visible, though it did not appear the school grounds were prominently visible.
