This morning, police are still searching for a second suspect after a deadly shooting near Seattle's Space Needle

Police say one suspect is in custody after gunfire erupted during a food festival

killing three people and injuring four others, including a toddler. Investigators believe the two suspects were shooting at each other

They recovered two guns at the scene. One suspect surrendered to officers, but the other took off

Police do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public. Witnesses say the festival quickly descended into chaos as people ran for cover

We suddenly heard some firecrackers, what I thought were firecrackers, and people started yelling, shooter, shooter

And there was like a stampede of people just running. They were stepping over people

They were stepping over people. There was a lot of food on the floor and there were people on the floor

There were kids, strollers. The Seattle mayor called the shooting an unbelievable tragedy

and said the city has now seen three major gun violence incidents in the past few days

The ATF says federal agents are assisting Seattle police as investigators continue the search for the second suspect

German authorities say the man accused of carrying out this weekend's deadly attack

near Berlin's Pride celebration is now dead. after a confrontation with police

Investigators spent nearly 24 hours searching for Abdul Ballout before tracking him Sunday to a garden complex outside the city

Police say he charged at officers with a knife or other sharp object

and they opened fire, killing him at the scene. As investigators continue piecing together exactly what happened

they also facing questions about what took place beforehand Officials say the 21 had previously tried to join ISIS and had already been convicted of preparing a serious act of violence and spreading ISIS

propaganda, so he was already on authorities' radar before Saturday night's attack

Police say a van drove into a crowd just a few hundred yards from Berlin's Pride festivities

before investigators say Ballout got out and continued the attack with a machete

One woman was killed. 29 other people were injured. On Sunday, hundreds gathered at Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate, leaving flowers, candles and rainbow flags

Now, with investigators still working to determine whether anyone else was involved

Germany says it is reviewing security for upcoming Pride events. And organizers of World Pride in Amsterdam say they're watching the situation closely as celebrations there get underway this week

Now to the war in Iran. After 13 straight days of U.S. strikes, the military campaign paused over the weekend

It's not clear why the U.S. temporarily stopped striking Iran. The lull comes, as Oman says, talks with Iran about reopening the Strait of Hormuz are making progress

Still, hundreds of vessels remain backed up in the critical shipping lane

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told NBC News the president is giving diplomatic talks some space as discussions continue

What the president is doing right now, as we've seen all along, is giving some talks some space

Talks are ongoing. They're happening at every level, from the more technical aspect of it all the way to the highest levels, of course, within both the Iranian government and the U.S. government

Iran's foreign ministry is pushing back, saying Tehran is not seeking talks with the United States

Meanwhile, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis attacked Saudi oil facilities along the Red Sea over the weekend

And Iran is threatening retaliation after accusing Ukraine of targeting one of its ships in the Caspian Sea

Iranian officials say at least one person was killed. Ukraine says it targeted cargo vessels under international sanctions that were being used to transport military cargo between Iran and Russia

Europe is starting the week in a race against time and unfavorable weather as massive wildfires continue to spread across France Spain and now parts of Italy In southwest France the infernos have now forced more than a quarter million people to evacuate

with flames burning just outside Bordeaux. Video from the region shows entire forests reduced to charred landscape

while thousands of evacuees are spending the night in emergency shelters. In Spain, firefighting planes are still hammering hot spots as crews work to keep new fires from erupting

Some of the most powerful images this weekend didn't come from the flames themselves

but from rescuers stopping to give water to exhausted dogs, rabbits, even a fox escaping the fires

Meanwhile, new burners have flared in Sicily, adding Italy to a growing list of countries battling extreme fire conditions

Pope Leo is asking people around the world to pray for the victims and first responders

But the big concern this morning is what comes next. Forecasters say temperatures are expected to climb again this week with little to no rain in sight

setting up a race to get these fires under control before conditions get even worse

Back in this country, key parts of President Trump's mail-in voting order are staying on hold in 23 states for now

But the legal battle is far from over. A federal appeals court in Boston has rejected the Trump administration's request to let major pieces of the executive order take effect before the midterm elections

The order would expand the federal government's role in mail-in voting. It calls for the Department of Homeland Security to help create state-by-state lists of eligible voters

and for the Postal Service to verify mail-in voters using those lists

The First Circuit said the Constitution leaves election administration largely to the states

Judges also warned the order could create an unprecedented level of federal involvement

and sow confusion this close to November. But the ruling only applies to the 23 states that filed the lawsuit

That leaves the country with a patchwork of rules after a different federal appeals court

recently allowed the order to move forward elsewhere. It's still unclear whether the Postal Service

will try to implement the changes in states not covered by the injunction

And the Justice Department has indicated it might ask the Supreme Court to take up the case Finally this morning happy birthday to Punch You may remember the orphaned baby monkey who captured hearts a year ago

after his mother rejected him at birth at a zoo in Japan

For comfort, he clung to a stuffed orangutan that became his constant companion

Who could forget this? It was so cute. On Sunday, Punch celebrated his first birthday

at the Ichikawa City Zoological and Botanical Garden. And the little guy has come a long way

Zookeepers say he's thriving, playing and socializing with the other monkeys after being hand-raised during the first months of his life

He's also moved on from his stuffed orangutan, trading it for real playmates

But punch hasn't been forgotten. The Zoo Get This received more than 2,500 birthday cards from fans

And visitors help celebrate by singing happy birthday to their favorite little monkey

That is great to hear. I mean, he had a tough start to life, but he's thriving now and making it
