Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Three people have been shot at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas. Law enforcement officials say one person was killed and two others injured. Dallas police posted on X a suspected shooter opened fire on the ICE facility from a nearby building. And officials say the alleged assailant died of a self inflicted gunshot wound. The FBI says it's investigating today's shooting as an act of targeted violence. Here's FBI Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock.

Authorities say no law enforcement officers were injured. They're declining to identify the shooter or the victims, including if any of them were detainees. Well, several officials, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz said, quote, politically motivated violence needs to stop. He says your opponents are not Nazis. And he goes on to say divisive rhetoric has real consequences. Late night host Jimmy Kimmel was back on TV last night.

He tried, did his best to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly.

The law Amazon's accused of violating is the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act. It requires clear and conspicuously displayed terms of service, like monthly charges. But Amazon lawyer Moez Kaba says that law is vague. Imagine, he said, you're driving down the highway and you see a sign that doesn't tell you the exact speed limit, but instead tells you to drive reasonably. How would you know if you're violating the speed limit? The FTC's lawyers say Amazon definitely knew it was violating the law, noting that it had lawyers in every key meeting. For NPR news, I'm Joshua McNichols in Seattle.
