The man accused of stabbing 11 people inside a Michigan Walmart may soon face terrorism charges in addition to 11 counts of assault with intent to kill
0:47
Police say 42-year-old Bradford James Gilley used a folding knife to stab five men and six women
0:53
including one Walmart employee on Saturday. The victims range in age from 21 to 84
0:58
Authorities say the attack appears random, and so far they've found no clear motive
1:03
Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea praised both the quick response from law enforcement
1:08
and a group of bystanders who confronted Gilly outside and helped stop him in the parking lot
1:13
I cannot commend everyone that was involved enough. When you stop and look at from the time of call to the time of actual custody
1:23
it actually was the individual was detained within one minute. And that is remarkable when you look at it
1:33
And that mitigated Lord knows how many additional victims. Gilly is now being held at the Grand Traverse County Jail
1:41
Formal charges and arraignment could happen as early as today. Authorities are now working with the FBI to determine whether the attack meets the definition of domestic terrorism
1:51
which involves violent acts meant to advance political social or ideological beliefs rooted in the U It not a victory but it is a sigh of relief The United States and Europe have avoided a full
2:05
trade war. The two sides struck a last-minute deal over the weekend just days before steep
2:10
tariffs were set to kick in. The agreement sets a 15 percent tariff on most European goods coming
2:16
into the U.S., higher than before, but far less than the 50 percent Donald Trump had threatened
2:21
if talks collapsed. President Trump announced the deal after meeting with European Commission
2:26
President Ursula von der Leyen during his trip to Scotland, saying it will lead to a $750 billion
2:32
EU investment in American energy. We've had a very good relationship over the years
2:39
but it's been a very one-sided transaction, very unfair to the United States. And I think both
2:46
sides want to see fairness, but it's been a very, very one-sided deal that it shouldn't be
2:52
The two called it a win, though many experts say it's more of a relief than a breakthrough
2:58
The deal does include zero tariffs on things like aircraft parts, generic drugs and semiconductors
3:03
but many goods will now be more expensive for American consumers. Still, for now
3:08
a trade war has been averted, and there's more diplomacy on deck this morning. Today
3:12
Donald Trump is hosting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his two gold resorts in Scotland
3:18
Trade, Ukraine and the crisis in Gaza are all expected to be on the agenda
3:23
Also today, the U.N. General Assembly is hosting a high-level meeting to promote a two-state solution
3:29
to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both Israel and the United States are boycotting it. The
3:34
meeting, co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, was originally scheduled for last month but
3:39
postponed after Israel's attack on Iran. U.S. officials have called the conference counterproductive to its own efforts to end
3:46
the war in Gaza. France however is pushing for action with its foreign minister urging other countries to join France in recognizing a Palestinian state President Emmanuel Macron says France intends to do just that this September at the next United Nations General Assembly
4:03
Parachutes fell over Gaza Sunday carrying food but also raising fears. The U.N. says the aid drops are inefficient, dangerous, and could even kill starving civilians
4:14
Israel allowed them, as part of a new plan, to ease restrictions and pause military operations in parts of Gaza during daylight hours
4:22
a shift driven by global outrage over the growing hunger crisis. Nearly one in three Gazans is going days without food
4:30
More than 50 people have reportedly died from starvation just this month, including children
4:35
Medical teams are running on empty, and aid groups say people are collapsing while waiting in line
4:41
Trucks are now getting through and Israel has restored power to a key water plant
4:46
However, aid groups say it's not enough. Some who tried to reach food on Sunday were met with Israeli gunfire
4:52
Israel claims it only fired warning shots. Speaking last night in Jerusalem, Benjamin Netanyahu denied reports of mass starvation in Gaza
5:02
What a bold-faced lie. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza
5:12
It was a sweltering weekend for millions of Americans, and the dangerous heat is not letting up anytime soon
5:19
Extreme temperatures are gripping the Midwest and South and now pushing toward the East Coast
5:24
In the Midwest, from Lincoln, Nebraska, up to Minneapolis, temperatures hit the upper 90s
5:29
Factor in the humidity, and it felt more like 110 degrees. Heat advisories and warnings are posted in cities, including Dallas, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Kansas City and others
5:40
We're expected to hit like 109 here in Omaha. It's day tomorrow. Boy, it is sticky, wicked
5:44
Let me tell you down south New Orleans Jacksonville Atlanta Charlotte and Richmond are bracing for triple digit temperatures through Wednesday And along the the Northeast I corridor from Boston to New York City Monday and Tuesday are expected
5:58
to be miserable, with heat index values between the mid-90s and 105. Forecasters are calling it
6:04
a prolonged heat wave fueled by tropical moisture and stubborn high pressure
6:10
Finally this morning, a little bit of history on the NASCAR circuit. Bubba Wallace became the first
6:15
African-American driver to win a major race at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway
6:21
Wallace held off defending champ Kyle Larson to win the Brickyard 400 on Sunday, and he celebrated
6:27
in style, kissing the yard of bricks on the Speedway's legendary 2.5-mile oval right there
6:33
The finish was a nail-biter. Listen to this. Just .22 seconds separated the two drivers in a race
6:40
that included an 18-minute rain delay and last-lap fuel drama. Wallace said after the race
6:46
I knew I was going to get there unless we ran out of gas. Can you imagine the anxiety
6:51
You're racing against the competition. You see him in your rearview mirror. You look at your gas gauge and you're on red
6:56
It becomes a race against time. Good for him. He pulled it off. All right, before we head out, here's what we're tracking today
7:01
Vice President J.D. Vance heads to Canton, Ohio at noon to promote the administration's new tax cut and spending bill
