At least three people are dead with two injured after a shooter opened fire at an in-and-out
“restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, this afternoon, Boise State Public Radio's James Dawson”
has more. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks says he believes the threat to the community is over, with the suspected shooter found dead nearby, but that it isn't immediately clear how he died. At a press conference, Hicks described the scene as very chaotic.
"We have literally hundreds of people that weren't suddenly shaped perform in the area of this restaurant at the time that are being interviewed right now." The shooting took place in Twin Falls' busiest commercial area, with police shutting down roads in a nearby bridge, which is the city's only access to Interstate 84. A Twin Falls city spokesperson says he expects the death and injury count to rise as the
investigation continues. For NPR News, I'm James Dawson and Boisey. Multiple Russian missiles slammed into Kiv before sunrise this morning, one of the deadliest nights the Ukrainian capital is seen in weeks.
“Nine people have been confirmed dead dozens heard, Phil and Marks has details.”
Kiv's now called at a brutal night for the city, with the barrage landing as President Trump appears to be backing away from a pledge to expand Ukraine's air defenses. Ukrainian officials say Russia fired more than two dozen ballistic missiles at the country, and that only one was intercepted a sign of how thin Ukraine's supply of patriot interceptors has become.
President Zelensky met manufacturer Lockheed Martin executives this week after Trump suggested Kiev could soon be permitted to build its own patriots. But on Friday, Trump struck a more cautious tone on that possibility, calling the hand over of that technology "a hard thing" to give away. The NPR News, I'm Bill and Marks.
President Trump's social media platform Truth Socialists started selling an early access version of his posts to investment banks and other institutions. The service is raising ethical questions and PR's Bobby Allen has to tell. For $100,000 a month, Truth API offers an early feed of the President's Truth Social posts.
“Since Trump regularly uses his social media site to make news about the economy and world affairs”
or a handset government policy, the posts can move the stock market. Former regulators with the Securities and Exchange Commission told NPR the service appears to violate insider trading laws against misusing government information for private gain. In response to spokeswoman for Trump media and technology groups, said the new product gives customers faster access to public information, saying critics have, quote, "invented
new theories of insider trading to attack the President."
Government disclosure show Trump made more than $2 billion while in office last year.

Most kids in the U.S. are getting a daily dose of caffeine, and PR's ping-wong has more on a national center for health statistics report. More than 60 percent of U.S. youth consume caffeine on a given day. Hunger kids, ages 2 to 11, are getting it from sweet bakery products, like those made with chocolate or coffee powder, and candy, flavored milk, and other beverages.
At a lesson, ages 12 to 19, are getting caffeine from soda, those bakery products, and tea or coffee. The amount of daily caffeine increased with age, teenagers were getting around 30 milligrams per day, about the amount in a can of cola. The results come from responses to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,
elected from 2021 to 2023. While moderate caffeine consumption appears to be relatively safe for kids and teens, the study authors warn that caffeinated products may disrupt sleep, and that sweets and sodas often come with high levels of added sugar. Ping-wong and PR News
