Transcript

[A]

For fallout from the tragedy in Rhode Island, I'm Ted Lindner. FOX News. At least three people are dead, others injured following what officials say was a targeted shooting in an ice rink during a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island Monday. Police Chief Tina Gonzalez.

[B]

The suspect was Robert Dorgan. His date of birth is July 15th of 1969. One of the victims was his ex wife Rhonda Dorgan and also his son, adult son Aiden Dorgan.

[A]

Robert, who went by Roberta said to have also turned the gun on himself after additionally injuring Rhonda's parents and a family friend. The search continues for the missing 84 year old mother of NBC's Today co host Savannah Guthrie. This after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos got DNA results from a glove found in Nancy Guthrie's neighborhood.

[C]

The sheriff concluded a briefing in which he was told that bad news, no match in the FBI database for the DNA found on that glove that was discovered a couple of miles away from Nancy Guthrie's home. The DNA on the glove that was found two miles away was submitted for codis and I just heard that CODIS had no hits, no hits on the DNA found in the glove. Correct. So you are no closer to a suspect as a result of the DNA test, at least as a result of codis. So then I asked the sheriff about the DNA that he had already told us had been found inside the house. He said they got no match on CODIS for that either.

[A]

FOX is Jonathan Hunt. The sheriff's cleared the Guthrie family as suspects in the case. And U.S. capitol Police have arrested an 18 year old man who hopped out of his vehicle and ran towards the west side of the Capitol building with a shotgun. The man was driving a Mercedes SUV and was ordered to the ground when police saw him. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said the man was wearing a tactical vest and gloves and had a kevlar helmet and gas mask inside the vehicle. They're now trying to figure out a motive. America's listening to FOX News.

A federal judge has ruled Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot re detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia because a 90 day detention periods expired and the government's got no viable plan for deporting him. Abrego Garcia has got an American wife and child and has lived in Maryland for years, but he immigrated to the US illegally as a teen. In 2019, an immigration judge ruled that he could not be deported to El Salvador because he faced danger there from a gang that had threatened his family by mistake. He was deported there anyway last year. Maryland Governor Wes Moore has signed legislation that bans local cooperation with immigration officials in his state.
