Shots fired. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. At least three people were shot as Black Friday gunfire erupted at a California shopping mall.

[B]

Victims wounds not life threatening. The motive unclear. No word on a possible suspect. President Trump saying Friday he's canceling any documents that former President Joe Biden signed using an auto pen, a move back by House Oversight Committee Chair Republican James Comer, who says his committee's investigation supports that move.

[C]

There was no evidence that Joe Biden participated in any of the meetings where the pardons were discussed. We looked at his calendar, we looked at emails. We brought in people for hours and hours of depositions. There were no communications back and forth.

[A]

Now, that House report, however, offered no concrete evidence that aides kept Mr. Biden unaware of the auto pen signed documents. And while Biden denies the allegations, President Trump has threatened perjury charges if Mr. Biden continues to claim that he personally authorized the use of the auto pen. Authorities in Washington now charging the suspected gunman in this week's National Guard shooting with first degree murder following the death of one of the soldiers. That from U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro. She announced those charges on Friday. Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf were both critically hurt of what investigators describe as an ambush near the nation's capital. President Trump saying Thursday night that Beckstrom died from her wounds. America is listening to FOX News.
