1. Deadly Flooding in Texas Hill Country

Lisa Licera opens the evening with a report on the catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country, highlighting the ongoing recovery efforts amidst growing frustration.

Mike Tobin in Kerrville, Texas, elaborates on the emergency response challenges:

"As more questions arise as to what was done and not done in the moments before and immediately after Friday's catastrophic flooding... the priority remains recovering victims rather than cleaning up property."
(00:12)

The floods, the worst since 1976, have resulted in at least 119 deaths with 160 people still missing. Recovery teams are tirelessly working to clear debris and search for survivors using all available resources, from heavy machinery to manual efforts.

2. Surge in U.S. Measles Cases

Kristen Goodwin reports a troubling rise in measles cases across the United States, marking the highest number since 1992:

"There have been nearly 1,300 confirmed measles cases in the US so far this year, the highest number since 1992."
(01:18)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) attributes 92% of these cases to individuals who are either unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination statuses. The outbreak originated in West Texas and has since spread to New Mexico, Oklahoma, and over three dozen other states. Hospitalizations have reached 162, with three fatalities, all among the unvaccinated.

3. Not Guilty Verdict in Connecticut High School Murder Case

In a significant legal development, Lisa Licera reports on the verdict of a high-profile murder case:

Lauren Green provides detailed coverage of the trial:

"The judge complimented Valli saying, you have shown respect in the process... and you have been acquitted of the four charges held against you."
(03:20)

Valli, who was accused of fatally stabbing a fellow student during a brawl at a teen party in 2022, claimed self-defense and intended to protect a friend. The jury's decision has sparked discussions about the handling of juvenile defendants in serious criminal cases.

4. Reflecting on the Attempted Assassination of President Trump

Lauren Green transitions to a reflection on the previous year's attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The report includes an emotional account from the widow of a firefighter who lost his life during the incident.

"Sometimes I still just pretend he's at work and he's going to come home at the end of the day."

Details of the attack are provided:

"Police say Thomas Crooks fired those gunshots. Investigators say the once shy college kid planned this attack for days."
