"Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman.
The manicures of shooting in a hallway outside the White House Correspondence dinner Saturday
“night is 31-year-old Cole Allen from Torrance, California.”
Officials say he's not been cooperating with the investigation, but police have been executing search warrants and addresses associated with Allen, and PR's Ryan Lucas tells us what's next." Investigators will be trying to trace Allen's actions as footsteps in the weeks, the days, the hours leading up to what happened on Saturday night.
Investigators said that Allen will face charges, assault on federal officer with the dangerous weapon, and using firearm in a crime of violence are the initial ones that will likely be more to come down the road. Allen is expected to be in court here in DC tomorrow morning, so we may learn more then. That's MPR's Ryan Lucas.
The strained relationship between the White House and the European Union did not prevent European leaders from expressing their relief that the president and his cabinet members were unharmed after the shooting at the dinner.
“As Terry Schultz reports, the blocks of officials are voicing shock and concern.”
"European Council President Antonio Costa said the incident was "deeply unsettling" and praised the swift action of law enforcement and apprehending the shooter quickly. European Commission President Ursula Vandalayan chimed in with relief, adding that violence has no place in politics ever." European Union Foreign Policy Chief, Kyakala's expressed relief in an expost that President
Trump and all other attendees were uningered, writing "an event meant to honor a free press
should never become a scene of fear."

A large wildfire in Southeast Georgia is rapidly growing as the state continues to deal with drought conditions as Alex Helmick from Member Station W.A.B.E. in Atlanta reports. The place has destroyed at least 87 homes so far. The highway 82 fire began nearly a week ago about a hundred miles south west of Savannah.
Officials say when a foil balloon hit a power line.
“And over the dry windy weekend, a Brantley County official said it has basically doubled”
in size to more than 21,000 acres and is just 7% contained as of late Sunday. Meanwhile, about 70 miles south of the highway 82 fire, the Pineland fire has grown to more than 32,000 acres and is threatening more than 300 structures that they shall say a new round of evacuation orders could come soon as more dry, warm temperatures, and wind gusts are expected Monday.
Smoke from the fires is also causing air quality concerns for several parts of the state. For MPR News, I'm Alex Helmick in Atlanta. At least two people have died from a storm that hit Northern Texas overnight Saturday. The storm produced a number of tornadoes including an EF2 tornado that hit the town of Runaway Bay killing one person.

No one was hurt in that attack, police say the bombing is an effort to undermine the 1998 agreement that brought peace to the region. Voting rights advocates in California say a November ballot measure requiring voter ID in the state would make it harder for eligible Californians to vote for member station KQED Billy Cruz reports.
The Republican backed measure would amend the state constitution to require voters to identify themselves for both in person and male in voting. Finally, ID is only required when a voter registers. Julia Gomez is an attorney with the ACLU of Southern California. She says this measure would add a burden to every voter in the state.
A busy mother might show a show up to her polling location and realize that maybe she left her ID card in a different bag. Maybe a diaper bag and she brought their wrong back, so it's going to add a point to just an advantage, you know, every single voter supporters say the measure would restore voter faith and elections and address fraud.
