Texas police say a man shot five people, killing two, in back-to-back shootings Tuesday near Dallas because he was angry over business dealings with the victims. The shootings happened Tuesday in area known as Koreatown in Carrollton. Police say it wasn’t a random act of gunfire and that the attacker knew the victims. The suspect ran away but was later arrested. Video posted online showed officers with their guns drawn as they walked past doors at K Towne Plaza. Agents from the FBI and another federal agency were among law enforcement at the scene.

Police in Oklahoma say a fight led to a shooting at a weekend party crowded with young adults at an Oklahoma park. Authorities said Tuesday that at least 23 people suffered gunshot or shrapnel wounds. One person remained in critical condition. So far, no one has been arrested in Sunday night’s shooting. Police in Edmond, Oklahoma, say investigators have information that leads them to believe there’s no danger to the public. The shooting broke out at a picnic pavilion alongside a popular lake just north of Oklahoma City. Police say the shooting began just as officers were already responding to a noise complaint about the party.

The Washington Post won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for scrutinizing the Trump administration’s sweeping, choppy cuts and changes to federal agencies. The Associated Press won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for an investigation into mass surveillance tools and their impact in China. Reuters won the award Monday for reporting on U.S. President Donald Trump’s use of executive power. Spanning three years, thousands of pages of documents and numerous interviews, the AP project found that American companies help lay the foundations of the Chinese government’s system for monitoring and policing its citizens.  Reuters’ work looked at how Trump has used the federal government to expand presidential authority and to try to punish his foes.

Authorities have determined that buckshot from the gun of the man charged with trying to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in an attempt to kill President Donald Trump struck a Secret Service agent. That word comes from the federal prosecutor overseeing the investigation. Jeanine Pirro said last week there was no evidence the agent was hit by friendly fire during the incident at a Washington hotel on April 25. But the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia went beyond that Sunday in saying a shot from one of Cole Tomas Allen's weapons hit the officer’s bullet-resistant vest. Allen was injured during the attack but wasn't shot. The officer survived.
