U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro showed images of the weapons Allen brought to the event and explained how they were all acquired in California.

Jeanine Pirro (2:51)

These are the weapons that the defendant had on his person. You can see that's a 12 gauge pump action Mossberg shotgun. It's a.38 semiautomatic. He had at least three knives and all kinds of paraphernalia. They were purchased in California. Why is that relevant? It is relevant because he crossed interstate lines with those firearms.

Narrator/Reporter (3:14)

Pira also clarified the shooter's manifesto, quoting from it his alleged motive.

Jeanine Pirro (3:19)

Now, the manifesto also makes clear about his expected rules of engagement. But at the end, make no mistake, he says, I am targeting the administration officials. They are my targets and I'm prioritizing from the top down, the highest ranking from the lowest. And I will not hesitate to get involved in any kind of encounter with anyone who blocks me from the president.

King Charles of England is on a royal Visit to Washington, D.C. today, where President Trump hosted him at the White House. We caught up with GB News Bev Turner on location ahead of events.

Bev Turner (3:58)

So King Charles and Queen Camilla, they are going to be here at the White House this week. They're meeting President Trump and Melania. The relationship between our two countries has never been more strained politically. King Charles is going to be the second monarch only ever in history to talk at Congress. I'm hearing that that speech is going to be very much about the history between our two countries. This is all part of the American 250th celebration. Of course, the irony is the assassination attempt on Saturday has changed the news agenda so quickly that it's actually overshadowing what would have been a visit about the difficult relationship between those two leaders.

The incident unfolded around 12:25am near a Five Guys restaurant. Officers were already monitoring a crowd of roughly 2,000, 3,000 people following the annual Little 500 cycling race. Allegedly, two women were seen arguing before multiple individuals drew handguns. Investigators believe two separate shooters fired as the situation spiraled. Authorities report that five victims, women between 17 and 22 years old, were struck by gunfire or fragments, while others suffered cuts and scrapes during the chaos, with all but one treated and released and the remaining victim hospitalized in stable condition. Investigators are reviewing cell phone and business surveillance footage as they work to determine a motive.

The new Michael Jackson biopic Michael was released this past weekend, and the director of Leaving Neverland was pleased. Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham has the story.

Dan Reed, known for the 2019 HBO documentary which explored the child's sexual abuse allegations against the King of Pop, said that he can't understand how anyone still believes Jackson should be celebrated. He told the Hollywood Reporter, quote, it says that people don't care that he was a child molester. Literally. People just don't care. In an interview with the New Yorker published Monday, Michael director Antoine Fuqua addressed the claims, saying of Jackson's alleged victims, quote, sometimes people do some nasty things for some money. Reid responded, saying, quote, for Antoine Fuqua to accuse people of gold digging is kind of ironic. It seems to me all of the people involved in this movie are just making bank. Attorneys for Jackson's estate deny the allegations against him and say that the accusers are the epitome of unreliable sources. Despite earning mixed reviews, the film shattered records over the weekend, earning $97 million domestically and $217 million internationally. Morningwire will be speaking to Dan Reid later this week to discuss the film, its success and Jackson's shaky legacy. So keep an eye out for that.

Spencer Pratt is blasting LA Mayor Karen Bass over the abuse of dogs on Skid Row. The former reality TV star turned candidate has put animal welfare at the center of his campaign, and he spent the last several weeks posting graphic footage of the abuse on social media, including dogs overdosing on fentanyl and one with its eyes sewn shut. Pratt accuses Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman of facilitating the torture, mutilation, abuse and murder of thousands of dogs. He claims addicts are breeding the animals for profit and using them as drug testers. If elected, Pratt has pledged to launch an LAPD task force called Tactical Pause, dedicated to ending the abuse.

A California wealth tax proposal has garnered enough signatures to make the November ballot. Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has the story.

Zach Jewell (8:16)

The proposal would institute a one time 5% wealth tax on individuals with assessed assets exceeding 1 billion. While Governor Gavin Newsom has stated that he opposes the new tax, polls show that a narrow majority of Californians, around 52%, are in favor of it. Newsom has cautioned that a wealth tax would accelerate the exodus of the wealthy from the state. Others have noted as well that the proposal would give the state legislature power to change the law without voter approval. That would allow them to make the tax recurring or lower the wealth threshold beyond just billionaires. If passed, the law would almost certainly face challenges in court as many claim it to be unconstitutional. Some economists have noted that a tax of this kind has never been instituted in the US Before.

Authorities have charged four men in the 1982 rape and murder of 16 year old Roxanne Sharp and after a podcast helped crack the case. Roxanne Sharp was killed in the woods of St. Thomonte parish just north of New Orleans, but the investigation eventually stalled due to lack of witnesses and physical evidence. Police had made little progress until last year when they partnered with North Shore Media to produce who Killed Roxanne Sharp?

With renewed public interest, police received fresh tips, uncovered new physical evidence and pieced together Sharpe's final days from witnesses who had stayed silent for more than 40 years. Perry, Wayne Taylor, Darrell Dean Spell, Carlos Cooper and Billy Williams Jr. All in their 60s, now face charges of aggravated rape and second degree murder, with two of them already behind bars on unrelated convictions.

A hospital system that laid off 1,000 staff gave $1.3 million to an anti racist theater group. Daily Wire investigative reporter Megan Brock has the story.

In May 2025, New York Presbyterian announced it was slashing 2% of its workforce, laying off 1,000 people. This came shortly after the hospital offered their nurses a lower than expected annual raise, a cut the administration blamed on the Trump administration's economic policies. In March 2026, the Justice Department sued the hospital for anti competitive contract restrictions that deny New Yorkers the choice of lower cost healthcare options. While all this was playing out. The hospital was pledging seven figures to support the construction of the Centro cultural immigrante, a 19,000 square foot compound featuring multiple theaters and a gallery meant to amplify the voices of New York City's diverse immigrant communities.

A California winery co owned by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's husband, Tim Minette, has shut down following inquiries into Omar's finances. Omar's financial disclosure statements raised red flags in the House oversight committee. When LLC is owned by Minet jumped in value from 51,000 in 2023 to 30 million in 2024. Congressman James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, noted that because the companies associated with the winery don't disclose their investors, the increase in disclosed worth might be linked to individuals attempting to gain influence with Congresswoman Omar. Comer added that media reports suggest that some of those funds may have been
