Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. Negotiations to end Russia's war with Ukraine are continuing today in Geneva with the US Acting as a mediator. The talks opened yesterday with no major breakthroughs expected. President Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, says enough progress was made on day one of the discussions for them to continue for a second day. Trump said recently he wants to see an agreement between Moscow and Kyiv by June. Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine is nearing the four year mark. A man was arrested outside the US Capitol building yesterday after police say he was seen running toward the building with a shotgun dressed in tactical gear. As NPR's Sam Greenglass reports, the suspect is identified as an 18 year old year old from Georgia.

Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan says the suspect had a tactical vest and gloves, a Kevlar helmet and gas mask. He parked a white Mercedes SUV near the US Botanical Garden.

He exited the vehicle with a shotgun and began running towards the Capitol up the walkway just behind me. And as he approached the Capitol, Capitol police officers observed this individual, challenged him and ordered him to drop the weapon and get on the ground, which he did comply with.

Police say they do not know the motive. Congress is not currently in session. Security has tightened on Capitol grounds since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. capitol. The incident comes as lawmakers face increasing harassment and threats of violence. Sam Greenglass, NPR News, Washington.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has signed legislation that bans local law enforcement from formally assisting U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement. As Sarah Petrowich with member station WYPR reports, Moore is among Democratic lawmakers who've been critical of how ICE and other federal officers have been carrying out immigration enforcement in Minnesota and elsewhere.

With Moore's signature, nine jurisdictions in Maryland must immediately terminate their federal immigration partnerships, known as 287 agreements. These collaborations authorized Maryland correctional officers to either hold detained noncitizens for transfer into ICE custody or give out administrative warrants on behalf of ice. Moore called ICE agents, quote, untrained, unqualified and unaccountable, saying the state will no longer allow its local law enforcement to be deputized by federal agents. Despite the legal barring of these agreements, Moore says Maryland will continue to work with the federal government in deporting non citizens who, quote, pose a risk to public safety. For NPR News, I'm Sarah Petrowicz in Annapolis.

The skiers had been staying at backcountry huts and were heading back when the avalanche struck. The Sierra Avalanche center had issued a warning for the area just hours earlier. Lead forecaster Brian Schwartz says dangerous conditions are complicating rescue efforts.

The storm is ongoing. You know, it's still snowing anywhere from 2 to 4 inches an hour right now, and that avalanche path is reloading with new snow very rapidly.

Much of California has been getting hit by a powerful winter storm this week. Forecasters say the higher elevations could receive as much as 8ft of snow before the storm moves away. Authorities in Arizona say DNA from a glove found a couple of miles from the home of Nancy Guthrie did not match anyone in a national database. That's according to the sheriff of Pima County. That database stores DNA from crime suspects or those who've been convicted of a crime. The 84 year old mother of NBC TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie has been missing for more than two weeks. A security camera on the front porch of the elder Guthrie's home near Tucson captured video of someone wearing a ski mask and gloves and a backpack. I'm Dave Mattingly, NPR News, in Washington.
