Chapter 1: What happened at the White House Correspondents' Dinner?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch says investigators are moving quickly to gather evidence about the suspected gunman who tried to storm the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night. President Trump was taken from the ballroom after the Secret Service subdued the suspect. NPR's Ryan Lucas has more.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CBS News' Face the Nation that the suspect in custody is not cooperating with investigators. Blanche did not name the individual, but two sources familiar with the matter tell NPR the suspect is 31-year-old Cole Allen from Torrance, California.
Blanche says investigators are combing through evidence they've gathered so far, including from the suspect's electronic devices. Based on preliminary information, Blanche says the suspect is believed to have traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then on to Washington, D.C., where he had a room at the Hilton Hotel where the correspondence dinner was taking place.
Investigators believe the suspect was targeting Trump administration officials, but Blanche says they are still looking into a potential motive. Ryan Lucas, NPR News, Washington.
And Allen has a court date tomorrow. Meanwhile, Steve Futterman has more on what's known about Cole Allen.
He had recently been working for a company that provides tutoring and helps students prepare for college entry exams. One of his tutoring students was this 17-year-old 11th grader, Jason. We're only using his first name because he's a minor.

Chapter 2: Who is Cole Allen and what are the details of his background?
Allen helped him prepare for his physics courses. I spoke with him last night. He said Allen's politics and ideology never came up.
No, never. We would stay on topic the whole time. Never said anything about Trump or anything like that. So he kept it, I guess he kept most of his opinions to himself.
Was he a good teacher? Did he help you?
Yeah, he was very helpful.

Chapter 3: What issues are former detainees facing at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center?
The water that they have smells like bleach and it's not really drinkable.
Aguilar said her clients were forced to pay $3 for a bottle of water or less than $40 for a case. ICE Director Todd Lyons stated in a recent news release that families in Dilley receive essential daily living needs. Federal contractor CoreCivic operates Dilley. Their website states that the facility gets the same clean drinking water supplied to the town. I'm Cory Cook in San Antonio.

In southwestern Georgia, fire officials say one of two large wildfires burning in the state continues to grow and has now burned more than 31 square miles. Brantley County Manager Joey Kaysen says on Facebook that the Highway 82 fire
doubled in size from last night, and winds today won't help. He says evacuation notices could be issued.
Chapter 4: How are wildfires impacting southwestern Georgia?
A second fire about 70 miles south of the Highway 82 fire near the Florida state line burned more than 46 square miles. The fires are fed by high winds, hot, dry conditions, and a continuing drought. And smoke from the fires is also causing air quality concerns for several parts of the state. Millions of birds will be migrating across the U.S. tonight.
That's why conservation groups are asking people to turn off or dim their lights. And here's Lauren Summer has more.
It's the annual spring migration. Almost 250 million birds are traveling across the U.S. right now. Most birds migrate at night, and some are on journeys that take them from South America all the way to the Arctic. Artificial lights, like from buildings, can interfere with their navigation.
So conservation groups are asking residents to turn out or dim non-essential lights overnight for the next few weeks. The biggest hotspots are in the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic states, as well as the West Coast. Lauren Sommer, NPR News.
Chapter 5: What should residents know about bird migration this spring?
