Federal investigators named Cole Tomas Allen, 31, as the suspect in Saturday night's gunfire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Allen, a California tutor with no prior contact with federal agencies, was carrying multiple weapons when officers brought him down inside the Hilton ballroom.

Trump and the First Lady were rushed out of the room as gunshots cracked over a chaotic ballroom; one Secret Service officer was shot. Iran talks slated for Pakistan this week were paused immediately, and a King Charles state visit is going ahead with revised security.

Both party leaders condemned the attack within hours, and the WHCA suspended scheduled events through May while it reworks the calendar with Secret Service.

Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe broke two hours at the London Marathon, finishing in 1:59:30 on a record-eligible course. Human performance history matters because an official sub-two-hour marathon had long been one of running’s defining barriers.

Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha also finished under two hours, while Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo beat the previous world record mark. Depth at the front matters because the race showed the breakthrough was not a one-runner outlier.

Training, pacing, weather, and footwear all shaped the historic finish. Future races will now be measured against a new standard for elite distance running.

Russian forces launched another wave of drone strikes on southern Ukraine, damaging civilian buildings and infrastructure along the Black Sea coast. The attacks underscore sustained pressure on key regions despite ongoing defenses.

Ukraine intercepted many drones but continues to face strain as repeated assaults stretch resources and slow recovery efforts. Persistent strikes are adding to the long-term burden on both infrastructure and emergency response.

Trump used a Sunday '60 Minutes' interview to attack journalists by name and to demand a fully reformed Correspondents' Dinner next year. Press groups responded that Saturday's shooting and the president's framing of the press were the same problem.

What it is: The Supreme Court will hear a geofencing case that could rewrite Fourth Amendment doctrine for the smartphone era, with implications stretching from every digital investigation in the country to everyday Google and Apple location settings. Justices will decide whether police can demand bulk Google location data on every phone inside a defined zone at a defined time without ever naming a single suspect or showing individualized probable cause.

The detail: Geofence warrants surfaced quietly in the late 2010s and have since been used in thousands of investigations spanning bank robberies, riot prosecutions, missing-persons cases, and homicides. Lower courts have split badly on whether the technique constitutes a search at all under the Fourth Amendment, with the Ninth Circuit emerging as the most skeptical and several southern districts effectively rubber-stamping the requests.

Why it matters: Almost every American adult carries a phone that broadcasts location data to Google or Apple, often without any clear understanding that police can request that data in dragnet form long after the fact. A ruling that lets geofence warrants stand under today's lenient standard would functionally legalize a kind of bulk search the framers never imagined and the court has previously rejected in physical-world contexts.

What to watch: Oral arguments are tentatively docketed for the October 2026 term, with a decision expected sometime before next summer's recess. Civil-liberties groups, prosecutors, and tech firms have already filed competing amicus briefs, and Google itself has signaled it may narrow its default location-data retention window if the ruling cuts hard against law enforcement.
