As my partners have said, we've had no victim fatalities. We would not be able to provide additional information at this time on the subject or his motive. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bashard said Temple security took out the threat the suspect is dead. At least 31st responders were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation after the truck caught fire. Bashard said no children or staff were harmed. But one security member was struck by the truck.

The Trump administration is planning to launch more than it does in terror-related investigations into various US trade partners. The investigations are being carried out under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and could result in fresh tariffs on imports from 16 major trade partners, including China, Mexico, and the EU. The probes come weeks after President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on goods not covered under current exemptions. And it marks the next phase in his sweeping global trade wars.

US trade representative Jamison Greer says the 10% tariffs are set to expire July 24th, and the administration wants to conclude its probe into foreign trading practices by then. Costco meantime, looking to the federal government for refunds, now that the Supreme Court has ruled President Trump's global tariffs were illegal. A Costco customer is suing the company to get refunds for customers who paid higher prices as a result of the tariffs. Costco CEO said last week that the company was looking into ways to pass refunds onto customers. The lawsuit argues that's not good enough, and the company needs to make a clear commitment.

And now this week, they're going to miss a full paycheck again.

Annual black lung cancer screenings are beginning again this month in America's coal mining communities, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is sending its mobile health units to Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio through May.
