What happened in the Hollywood nightclub car‑ramming incident?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. Police in Los Angeles say they believe the suspect who rammed his car into a group of people outside a Hollywood nightclub this week and acted deliberately, Steve Futterman has our details.
Police believe the suspect, 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez, became enraged when he was told to leave the nightclub. Initially he began driving away, but then allegedly made a sudden U-turn and crashed his car into dozens of people. Angry bystanders pulled him from the vehicle and began beating him. Ramirez was also shot in the buttocks. Los Angeles police officer Jeffrey Lee.
The suspect in the shooting uh is still outstanding. We consider him armed and dangerous and possibly carrying a silver revolver.
Police have ordered Ramirez detained on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Formal criminal charges could come from the district attorney in the upcoming week. For MPR News, I'm Steve Federman in East Hollywood, California.
Texas state lawmakers return for a special session on Monday following the july fourth flooding, they'll be discussing disaster preparedness and to begin the process to possibly redraw congressional districts ahead of next year's midterm election.

But President Trump has urged Texas to redraw those congressional lines ahead of the midterm elections. He believes there's at least five more seats the US for the U.S. House here. And the Justice Department has said that most of those come from what looks like constitutional gerrymandering right now in heavy Democratic voting blocks around Houston.
That's the Texas newsroom's Blaze Ganey.
