Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. Authorities are looking for the motive in yesterday's attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas. One detainee was killed, two others wounded. Officials say the gunman took his own life. Former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Juliette K.M. says officials have disclosed evidence linked to the shooter that seems similar to other killings.
The most important thing is at least what's been disclosed by the FBI director is that one of the casings that he was using had the words anti-ice. So you're going to begin with that. And it's very similar to recent killings that we've seen both in Charlie Kirk and this UnitedHealth CEO killing in which these men are using these casings and writing on them.
She spoke to NPR's Morning Edition. Three men implicated in the September 11, 2001 attacks have asked a federal court to reinstate their plea deals. These were reached with the U.S. government last year, but later canceled.
What happened in the Dallas ICE facility attack and who was involved?
NPR's Sasha Pfeiffer reports one of the men includes the alleged mastermind of the attack.
Wednesday was the deadline for three of the 9-11 defendants to appeal the rejection of their plea deals. And all three of them did appeal, including the alleged ringleader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. They want the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear their case. If it takes the case but doesn't rule in their favor, they can still appeal to the Supreme Court. The plea deals, if allowed, would let them plead guilty and spend life in prison rather than face the death penalty. Prosecutors have said plea deals would be the best resolution since the case has still not gone to trial nearly a quarter century after the attacks. Sasha Pfeiffer, NPR News.
Coffee retailer Starbucks says it will close hundreds of stores in North America and lay off nearly a thousand workers. It's an effort to reverse the company's poor sales over more than a year. Despite the numerous store closures, Starbucks says these are only about one percent of its store count. Stocks opened lower this morning as the National Association of Realtors reported a modest drop in home sales last month. NPR's Scott Horsley reports the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 180 points in early trading.
Sales of existing homes fell by two-tenths of a percent in August, extending a months-long slump. The number of homes on the market was also down, but the average selling price inched up to more than $422,000. Revised figures from the Commerce Department show the U.S. economy grew faster during the spring than had been reported. GDP grew at an annual pace of 3.8% in April, May and June, up from an earlier estimate of 3.3%. The upward revision primarily reflects stronger consumer spending. The nation's trade deficit narrowed in August as higher tariffs took effect. The trade gap had widened the previous month as importers raced to beat those higher taxes.
What evidence links the Dallas shooter to other recent killings?
Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.
On Wall Street, the Dow is now down 130 points. This is NPR. Another swarm of drones in Denmark last night forced Danish officials to close an airport. That's the second time this week this has happened. Danish officials say a professional actor is responsible, and they may officially consult NATO. Researchers say harvesting and coastal development along the California coast have nearly depleted the Olympia oyster population. The oysters were once an important food source for Native Americans and gold rushers. Jill Repliga reports from Huntington Beach.
Every two weeks, Craig Shopner pulls up strings of discarded oyster shells from restaurants hanging off of his dock in Huntington Harbor. He checks to see whether any baby oysters have latched on.
Yeah, I don't see any oysters yet.
Chopner and some 80 of his neighbors around the harbor have been caring for these shell strings since the spring.
