Chapter 2: What incident occurred at a White House checkpoint?
Federal officials say a suspect who opened fire at a White House checkpoint shortly after 6 p.m. Eastern has died. The Secret Service said during an exchange of fire, one bystander was also struck, but no details were released about that individual. Earlier, President Trump said the U.S. and Iran have largely negotiated an agreement towards ending the nearly three-month-long war.
NPR national security correspondent Greg Myrie says few details have been released, but Trump claims the deal does include opening the Strait of Hormuz.
They're close, but they haven't nailed it down. And this sounds more like a framework, something to keep the ceasefire in place, perhaps open the Strait of Hormuz, ease the tensions without nailing down all of the other issues, including things like Iran's nuclear program.
The South Carolina Senate has moved one step closer to passing a new congressional map to help Republicans flip a House seat now held by Congressman Jim Clyburn, a Democrat. South Carolina Public Radio's Gavin Jackson reports.
In a close vote, the Republican-led Senate kept the redistricting bill moving, setting up a key vote on Tuesday. The same day, South Carolinians will start early in-person voting for the June 9th primary. Democrats and a handful of key Republicans have resisted the rare mid-decade redistricting effort by the White House.
Republicans could limit debate Tuesday with what is called a cloture vote and then eventually pass the bill. Here's Senate Democratic Leader Brad Hutto. People that vote for cloture on Tuesday are actually voting to disenfranchise voters who are actually standing in line at the polls at the very time that that vote will be taken. If a map passes, lawsuits are set to be immediately filed.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has published new guidance that would require more of the foreign nationals who apply for green cards to leave the country first. And Perez-Martin Costa reports it's still unclear how many applicants will be affected.
Most people applying for a green card get what's called an adjustment of status, which allows them to apply for permanent residence from inside the U.S., even if they came on a temporary visa.

Chapter 3: What is the current status of U.S.-Iran negotiations?
But the Trump administration wants most people to apply for green cards at U.S. consulates in their home countries. San Diego immigration attorney Anne Rowley says the new policy will be disruptive.
Our understanding on this memo is still up in the air because of its recency, but I definitely think that it is going to change how immigration practitioners manage legal strategy for the lion's share of applicants.
She says if many more people choose to return to their home countries to apply, it might overwhelm the staff at U.S. consulates. Martin Koste, NPR News.
And you are listening to NPR News from New York City. A medical evaluation detailing what could have led to NASCAR driver Kyle Busch's death has been revealed by his family. NPR's Shondelise Duster reports.
NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, according to a statement from his family on Saturday. This, the statement continued, resulted in, quote, "...rapid and overwhelming associated complications." Bush, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, died Thursday at age 41.
NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell said they would honor Bush's legacy and remembered his impact on the sport.
To me, Kyle Busch just defines what it means to be a racer in NASCAR. Everything about it, the fire, the greatness, the heart that sometimes you rarely saw. The sport was truly lucky to have him.
Bush was set to race in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Shandalise Duster, NPR News.
