"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
A drive by shooting in the West Bank today has left one is really manned dead.
“Officials say five other is rallies were injured in the attack.”
And PR's at Regmigree is in Tel Aviv and reports the gunman was also killed." The deadly shooting took place at a gas station in Central Israel that's close to the boundary with the West Bank. His rally police said the gunman fled in his car and continued shooting, wounding several more as rallies nearby.
The suspect, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, was then shot dead. Israeli's and Palestinians clash frequently in the West Bank, such attacks are much less common inside Israel. On Friday in the West Bank, Israeli troops fired into a car to checkpoint and killed a seven-month-old boy.
The Palestinian family said the car was stopped at the time of the shooting. Both parents were injured. The military acknowledged the shooting and said it was investigating. Greg Myrie, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
“Investors will get a look into both inflation and the housing market this week.”
And PR's, even Vassaha reports, home sales have been dragging. Historically, spring is a hot time for home sales. But the market's quoted recent years due to high mortgage rates. Tuesday, the National Association of Realtors will report May's existing home sales. Milo's already reported sales down nearly 3% from a year earlier.
On Wednesday, the Labor Department will share the latest on consumer prices. In April, prices rose 3.8% year over year, much faster than the Federal Reserve would like.

Without warning, the Congolese government suspended flights to and from the city of Bunya, the capital of a Tory province.
It's the second time Congo has suspended flights since the outbreak began last month.
The Tory, in Eastern Congo, is the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, harboring over 94% of the confirmed cases. Official figures released on Friday showed that 71 new cases have been recorded in a single day. The number of Ebola fatalities also jumped.
Congo's National Institute for Public Health said in a report that this shows there is "rapid and ongoing community transmission." Aid workers on the ground paint a similar picture. Hospitals are poorly equipped and overwhelmed, they say, "And there's no way of knowing the true number of people who have been infected."
