his truck into a synagogue and suburban Detroit, the FBI says it's investigating it as
“a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.”
As Ross McNamara from Detroit Public Radio reports, the attacker is dead, what motivated him is still unknown." There was an exchange of gunfire, a temple is real in West Bloomfield township, however the only injury was a security guard who is struck by the vehicle. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bushard says he had been working with local police in preparation
for a potential attack at areas, synagogues, since the start of the war with Iran. "We've been talking for two weeks about the potential sadly at this happening, so there was no lack of preparation." Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer called the attack heartbreaking, and that, quote, "Michigan's Jewish community should be able to live and practice their faith in peace.
For NPR News, I'm Ross McNamara in Detroit." A shooter killed one person and wounded two others at Old Dominique University in Norfolk Virginia.
“He's been identified as former Army National Guard's been Muhammad Baylor Jalo, FBI special”
agent Dominique Evans says an RO's T.C. student subdued him and police found him dead at the scene. "There were students that were in that room that subdued him, and rendered him no longer
alive, and it all was to say it, but they basically are able to terminate the threat."
Jalo pleaded guilty in 2016 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS and was released from prison in 2024. Oil prices surged again today, touching $100 a barrel and then dropping back a bit as Iran maintains an effective closure of the vital straight of Hormuz waterway. NPR's Greg Myri reports that more ships have also come under attack."
The US military says its sunk most of Iran's navy, yet Iranian threats and attacks are still keeping oil tankers from traveling through the straight of Hormuz off its southwest coast. Gregory Brue is with the Eurasia group, a political consulting firm. "We are currently experiencing what is the largest oil supply disruption in history."
“The straightest is 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, which means Iran can strike ships”
from its own territory.
Several have been hit over the past two days.
President Trump has hinted that the US Navy may start escorting oil tankers, but so far the ships are on their own. Greg Myri, NPR News, Washington. The Trump administration is suing California over the state's nation-leading vehicle emissions standards.
This comes amid a steep rise in gas prices due to the Iran War.

In a rare bipartisan effort for a deeply divided Congress, the Senate has passed a broad bill to try and make US housing more accessible and affordable. It would regulate corporate investors while reducing other regulations, and it would expand how housing dollars can be used to build affordable homes and rentals. It now heads back to the House, which passed a separate version earlier this year.
A strong El Nino weather pattern could be on the way this summer, NPR's Rebecca Hershire reports that would drive up global temperatures later this year. El Nino happens when the water in the eastern Pacific is warmer than usual. It causes global average temperatures to rise slightly. When you combine that with the much larger warming effects of humans, burning fossil fuels,
you often get record-breaking heat. A long, strong El Nino in 2023 and 2024 led both of those years to shatter global temperature records. Now, federal forecasters say it's likely El Nino will return between June and August. That would also affect regional weather patterns in the US.
The South generally sees more rain and lower temperatures in years when El Nino is active, and El Nino also makes it more difficult for hurricanes to form in the Atlantic. Rebecca Hershire and PR News. A slie red fox somehow slipped onto a cargo ship that traveled from Southampton, England to New York. He's now in the Bronx Zoo's cares.
