The White House has Allen wanted to target administration officials. A White House official not authorized to speak publicly says the Secret Service and Montgomery County Police spoke with Allen's
sister. She told them her brother had a tendency to make radical statements and his rhetoric constantly referenced a plan to do quote "something" to fix the issues with today's

into a potential motive. Allen will be a reigned and federal court on Monday. Lydia Calitri and PR News Washington Congress leaves town for their next recess in a week, but the partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security continues, meaning Secret Service agents have been paid and here's Eric McDaniel reports. As though the longest agency shut down in history weren't enough pressure, Saturday at shooting at the White House

“The very same Secret Service that just saved President Trump's life and thank heaven above”
that he's safe has been defunded along with the rest of the Department of Homeland Security for more than two months. My Democrat colleagues in the Senate, it's time to end this.

Some states that use the Colorado River trying to break a standstill in negotiations about sharing its water. Alex Hager of Member Station KJZZ reports the calling for talks to resume with a mediator. The states haven't met for negotiations in over two months. If they can't reach a deal for sharing the shrinking water supply, the federal government will likely
force big unpopular cutbacks that could trigger lawsuits. Now, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico are calling for a mediator to join those talks and help states lay down their sorts. Becky Mitchell represents Colorado. This is really trying to see if we can break any of the deadlock and set aside the legal theories and try to find a way to get to a deal. It's not clear exactly who would mediate the talks. Colorado's Mitchell says it should be a decision
among all seven states that use the river's water. For NPR News, I'm Alex Hager and Phoenix. And you're listening to NPR News from Washington.
