The area around where two National Guardsmen were shot is closed off with police tape. It's an enormously busy intersection of the nation's capital called Farragut Square, just about two blocks away from the White House. So far, we know the National Guardsmen were shot earlier this afternoon and caught by surprise. D.C. officials called it a targeted attack. The gunman was also shot and is in custody at a local hospital. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey said that the two soldiers were West Virginia National Guardsmen. The White House says it is monitoring the situation. Jacqueline Diaz, NPR News, Washington.

A coalition of states is suing the Trump administration. They're hoping to block a federal effort to cut off SNAP food assistance for migrants who were in the US Legally. Federal officials want to limit food aid for migrants who arrive through asylum and humanitarian programs. NPR's Brian Mann reports.

The U.S. department of Agriculture issued guidance in late October restricting the group of migrants in the US Legally who are eligible for SNAP food assistance. Attorneys general from 20 states in the District of Columbia filed suit in federal court. They say if states keep providing food aid to legal migrants, they could face catastrophic financial penalties. In a statement, New York AG Letitia James said the change would affect more than 35,000 migrants living in her state. James blasted what she called an effort to take food away from children and families. The USDA says legal refugees and asylum seekers from some countries are still eligible for food aid. Most are now required to meet complex eligibility rules. Brian Mann and NPR News.

In new court papers, ChatGPT maker OpenAI says it's not liable for the death of a teen boy, saying he misused the chatbot. As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, it comes after the family of the boy filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the AI giants.

Lawyers for OpenAI say a 16 year old boy from Orange County, California, used the chatbot as a suicide coach. The tech company says the boy's death was the result of the unauthorized use of ChatGPT. It's OpenAI's first legal response to a lawsuit that set off debate about the potential mental health dangers of powerful AI chatbots. The lawsuit contained chat log showing chatgpt discouraged the boy from seeking mental health treatment and even helped him write a suicide note. Since the suit, OpenAI has changed its AI models so that interactions with the chatbot are less affirming of what a user is asking about, which could include harms. Bobby Allen, NPR News.
