What happened in the Midtown Manhattan office shooting and who were the victims?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. New York City police say a gunman opened fire in a midtown Manhattan office building this evening, killing four people, including a police officer and injuring a fifth person. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch Says the suspect was spotted getting out of a black vehicle carrying a rifle and entering the building around six thirty this evening.
The building security camera footage shows the shooter enter the lobby, turn right, and immediately opened fire on an NYPD officer. І він шутса вумену ток ковер бин пілор, просиде лоббі спрайни від гунфір.
Ти ж се ганман з бин ідентифікад із твої сем'яро Шейн Томура в Лас Вега. Demora was found dead on the thirty third floor of the office high rise, apparently after taking his own life. Authorities are searching for a possible motive. Speaking today in Scotland, President Trump announced a new trade framework that includes tariffs on goods from the European Union. As NPR's Lauren Freyer reports, the White House says other countries will face similar tariffs.
The deal announced here in Scotland means European cars and other goods will face fifteen percent tariffs coming into the US.
How is President Trump’s new trade framework affecting EU goods and future tariffs?
And President Trump says he's planning a single global tariff for other countries that have not yet negotiated separate trade agreements.
I would say in the range of fifteen to twenty percent.
Those numbers are higher than the baseline ten percent tariff Trump announced back in April. Trump says a single blanket tariff is quote, what they're going to pay if they want to do business in the United States, because he can't, quote, sit down and make two hundred deals. Lauren Freyer, NPR News, Aberdeen.
Emergency crews are working to contain a fast moving wildfire on the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. Ryan Heinches of Member Station KNAU.
Firefighters are facing a fifth straight day of extreme conditions. Officials say humidity has dropped to around ten percent as twenty five mile an hour winds have created explosive growth on the heavily wooded north rim of the national park. Lisa Jennings is a spokesperson for the incident management team.
These are historic conditions in terms of dryness, and that's really the main factor in addition to the winds that's causing this fire to grow
rapidly. Numerous spot fires have started up to a mile from the main perimeter.
Why is the Grand Canyon wildfire spreading so quickly and what are the conditions?
The blaze is one of the highest priority wildfires in the country, with about a thousand personnel working to contain it. For NPR News, I'm Ryan Heinches in Flagstaff.
At least seventy-eight people have been killed in the latest round of Israeli attacks across Gaza. The strikes came amid increasing pressure to pause the fighting so that relief workers can deliver aid to civilians. President Trump says he doesn't think that the claim that there is no starvation in Gaza is accurate. This is NPR. Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has been convicted of bribery and witness tampering. Seventy three year old Urebe, who was not in court for today's verdict, is facing up to twelve years in prison. He is expected to appeal the ruling. Rube governed Colombia from two thousand two. Until two thousand ten. Stars are born in clusters that can number in the thousands.
What is the latest situation in Gaza and how are international aid efforts being impacted?
But what happens to those structures which As they age. Regina Barber reports on a study confirming that snapshots of a cluster's life can be seen in two famous constellations.
The constellations Orion and Taurus are home to three open star clusters that can be seen with the naked eye. Scientists have long thought that they each showcase a different stage of a cluster's life.
It's like seeing photos um of the same person as a baby, a teenager, an elder.
That's Hossein Haki, an astrophysicist who helped support this hypothesis. He and a team used a sophisticated news simulation, and it ran long enough to show that a computer-modeled star cluster would age to first match the Orion Nebula, later grow to resemble the Pleiades, and finally end up like the cluster Hyades, which makes up the head of Taurus.
