Chapter 2: What happened in the shooting incident involving National Guard members in D.C.?
Police are trying to understand why two National Guard members were shot outside a subway station in Washington, D.C. this afternoon. They say a suspect shot them before also being shot and taken into custody. D.C. Assistant Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll says the emergency response was rapid.
The National Guard members are being treated at a local hospital. D.C. Fire and EMS responded to the scene to provide first aid for those individuals and transport them to a local hospital. The suspect in this case was also transported for treatment at a local hospital.
The shooting took place just two blocks from the White House, which was briefly locked down because of the incident. President Trump has updated his original 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. As NPR's Franco Ordonez tells us, Trump says there are now only a few remaining points of disagreements.
President Trump says he's dispatching his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to Moscow to meet with President Putin. while sending Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to meet with the Ukrainians to work out the final details. It's just the latest iteration of yo-yoing proposal that Trump has presented as he tries to cement his peacemaking legacy. Ivo Daldr, a former U.S.
ambassador to NATO, says all Trump wants is a deal.
He doesn't care what the terms of the deal are. He just wants it to end and to be seen as the person who ended it.
But Daldr says the problem is that while the U.S. agreed to plans with both Russia and Ukraine... Russia and Ukraine have not reached an agreement on any plans with each other. Franco Ordonez, NPR News.

Stocks were ups on Wall Street today. The Dow Jones Industrials gained 314 points before the holiday. The S&P 500 rose 46 points. The Nasdaq climbed 189 points. You're listening to NPR News. Many lightning strikes created by whirling dust devils have been detected by a rover on Mars.
As NPR's Nell Greenfield-Boyce reports, scientists had long suspected that the red planet might have some form of lightning, but discovering it has been elusive.
Since the 1970s, scientists have thought that swirling dust on Mars might produce some kind of electrical discharge. Like on Earth, clouds of turbulent volcanic ash can create lightning. Now, in the journal Nature, a team says that in windy conditions, a microphone on NASA's Perseverance rover sometimes did more than just hear wind.
Dozens of times, it registered a distinctive pattern of electrical interference followed by the acoustic signal of a shockwave. They say this had to have been from electrical arcs just a few centimeters long. They want to learn more about this electrical activity to understand what risks, if any, it might pose to future human or robotic missions. Nell Greenfield-Boyce, NPR News.
