Police say two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were shot and killed while leaving an event at a Jewish museum, and the suspect yelled, “Free, free Palestine” after he was arrested. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith says they were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday evening when the suspect approached a group of four people and opened fire. The suspect was identified as 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago. Authorities said he walked into the museum after the shooting and was detained by security guards.

Authorities say two people have died and multiple others were injured when a private jet crashed into military housing in San Diego during foggy weather. The accident ignited cars parked along a suburban neighborhood block and killed multiple people on board the plane. Assistant San Diego Fire Chief Dan Eddy says the plane could hold eight to 10 people but it’s unknown how many were on the aircraft. He says authorities will be investigating whether the plane hit a power line. The aircraft crashed just before 4 a.m. Thursday into the U.S. military’s largest housing neighborhood.
House Republicans stayed up all night to pass their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package. Speaker Mike Johnson defied the skeptics within his ranks and muscled President Donald Trump’s priority bill to approval Thursday. Last-minute concessions and a stern warning from Trump appeared to win over the hold outs to salvage what he calls the “big, beautiful bill.” The outcome caps an intense time on Capitol Hill, with days of private negotiations and public committee hearings. Democrats, without the votes to stop Trump’s package, tried to stall it. The Congressional Budget Office says the tax provisions would add $3.8 trillion to federal deficits.
President Trump hosted the leader of South Africa in the White House. The media lost their collective minds over Trump’s comments during the meeting. See more on Salem News Channel.
Government vaccine advisers are meeting to decide if the recipe for COVID-19 vaccines needs updating for this fall and winter. The meeting comes even as a new Trump administration policy has thrown into question whether healthy people younger than 65 will still qualify for a shot — or if vaccines will be limited to seniors and people at high risk from infection. Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration will debate if the virus has mutated enough since last winter to require a tweak to the formula. Thursday’s meeting is the group’s first since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Iran’s top diplomat has warned that his country would take “special measures” to defend its nuclear facilities if Israel continues to threaten them, raising the stakes further ahead of a new round of talks with the United States. The comments Thursday by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered no specifics on what Tehran would do, but already, international inspectors have seen their access limited to Iran’s program. That’s even as Tehran enriches uranium to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. The U.S. and Iran are due to meet Friday in Rome.
