[A]

Iran retaliating. I'm Lisa Lacera, Fox News. Iran striking Israel after US Forces targeted Kharg Island, a small island in the Persian Gulf, which is the primary terminal where more of Iran's oil exports pass.

[B]

They still do have ballistic missile capabilities and we're seeing them respond to the U.S. military strikes on Kharge island firing ballistic missiles just north of Tel Aviv this hour. But the message from President Trump is clear to allow safe shipping in the Strait of Hormuz or he is going to take out the oil infrastructure on this island, which is really important because the island process is 90% of Iran's crude oil.

[A]

Fox is Nay Foy in Tel Aviv. The Justice Department has arrested a man they say sold the weapon to the man who opened fire in an ROTC classroom yesterday, killing the instructor at Old Dominion University before he was killed by ROTC students.

[C]

The name is Kenya Chapman of Hampton, Virginia, charged with making false statements to investigators about providing the weapon to Muhammad.22 caliber weapon authorities say was stolen about a year ago and sold to Muhammad Jalo for $100 in the past week. Jalo as a convicted felon, is not allowed to possess or own a firearm. The suspect in this case saying he never thought that Muhammad Jalo would use it to commit a crime.

[A]

Box is Mike Emanuel in Norfolk, Virginia. Muhammad Jalo had been released early from federal prison after being convicted on federal terrorism charges with which should have disqualified him from early release. The FBI has confirmed Ayman Mohammed Ghazali as the man who rammed his vehicle into a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan. FBI special agent in charge Jennifer Runyon says he waited a while before carrying out the attack. Approximately 10am to 12:15pm Ghazali remained parked in his vehicle in the parking lot.

D.C. u.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro says she will appeal a judge's decision to block the investigation to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

[E]

Powell has been under investigation since late last year by the U.S. attorney Pirro for his role in overseeing contracts, spending and construction of the new Federal Reserve headquarters. Judge James Boasberg granted a request by Powell's team to quash or essentially get rid of subpoenas as part of the investigation, boasberg writes. A mountain of evidence suggests that the government served these subpoenas on the board to pressure its chair into voting, voting for lower interest rates or resigning. Meanwhile, Pirro is not giving up. Kevin Warsh, the man handpicked by President Trump to succeed Powell as the Fed chair, is already preparing for a delay to be confirmed. The chief reason? North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis says he's putting a hold on the nomination until the Powell investigation ends.
