A gunman opened fire at a fast-food restaurant in Idaho, killing three people before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to AP News. The suspect, 24-year-old Chad Williams, was identified as an off-duty individual. In total, four people died — including Williams — and seven others were injured in the attack.
The shooting is one of several major stories breaking late Wednesday. From a potential U.S. strike on Iran being paused to renewed Israeli attacks on Gaza, here is what you need to know.
Idaho Fast-Food Shooting Ends With Gunman Dead
Police say Chad Williams, 24, carried out the attack at a fast-food restaurant in Idaho. Three victims were killed at the scene. Seven more people were hurt. Williams then died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, AP News reported. Authorities have not yet released details on a motive.
The shooting adds to a series of mass casualty events at public places across the United States. Local police are still investigating the full circumstances of the attack.
Trump Pauses Iran Strike Orders After Gulf Ally Talks
President Donald Trump has decided to hold off on ordering new military strikes against Iran, according to AP News. The decision came after conversations with Gulf allies. The pause signals a diplomatic effort is still in play, even as tensions remain high in the region.
No timeline was given for how long the pause would last. The move comes amid ongoing U.S. involvement in Middle East diplomacy, with Iran's nuclear program still at the center of talks.
Israel Strikes Gaza, Rejects Hamas Disarmament Deal
Israel continued to strike Gaza despite an active ceasefire, killing at least 17 people — mostly children — according to AP News. Israel says it will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas fully disarms. The Israeli military views a proposed Hamas disarmament deal as a cover for Hamas to rebuild its forces rather than truly demilitarize.
Hamas had floated plans to disarm as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement. But Israel raised serious security concerns about the proposal. The gap between the two sides remains wide, making a lasting peace deal elusive.
Senators Push Short-Term Spending Bill to Avert Shutdown
Key U.S. senators have put forward a short-term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, AP News reported. The proposal comes during a busy campaign season, when lawmakers are eager to avoid the political fallout of a funding lapse. No vote date has been set.
Government shutdowns halt non-essential federal services and stop paychecks for hundreds of thousands of workers. Congress has a tight window to pass a deal before current funding runs out.
