--:-- Noor Rahm: Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Noor Rahm. Authorities in Michigan say at least one person was killed when a gunman opened fire on a church this morning, which was also set on fire during the attack. The suspect was shot dead by police. Member station Mission Public, Steve Carmody, reports.
--:-- Steve Carmody: Police say an unidentified 40-year-old man rammed his vehicle into the front doors of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, about 60 miles north of Detroit. The man then allegedly opened fire on people attending the morning church service. Police believe he also started a fire that burned much of the church.
--:-- Scott Bennett: This kind of violence doesn't happen in our community, and we are heartbroken that it came to Grand Blanc Township.
--:-- Steve Carmody: Authorities are searching a part of the church heavily damaged by fire. For NPR News, I'm Steve Carmody in Flint, Michigan.
--:-- Noor Rahm: The deadline is fast approaching to avoid a partial government shutdown. The fiscal year ends Tuesday night and Congress has not approved the regular bills to pay for government programs. President Trump is to meet tomorrow with congressional leaders, including Democrats Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.
--:-- House Speaker Mike Johnson: The president doesn't want the government to shut down. I'm telling you where his head is. He wants to bring in the leaders to come in and act like leaders and do the right thing for the American people. It's fine to have partisan debates and squabbles, but you don't hold the people hostage for their services to allow yourself political cover. And that's what Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are doing right now.
--:-- Noor Rahm: The Democrats want a provision to extend health care subsidies for middle and low-income families that are now slated to expire this year.
--:-- Anas Baba: Gaza health officials say more than 66,000 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire after nearly two years of war. At least 19 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a crowded outdoor market over the weekend. Israel says it was targeting a wanted Hamas militant.
--:-- Anas Baba: Israel launched a raid in central Gaza last year and rescued four Israeli hostages. The operation also killed at least 276 Palestinians and wounded nearly 700 according to Gaza health officials. It was one of Israel's most lethal attacks of the war.
--:-- Anas Baba: This weekend, an Israeli airstrike hit a busy market, killing 19 people, including women and children, and wounding at least 70 others, Gaza health officials say. Israel says the target was a Hamas militant allegedly involved in killing an Israeli soldier during last year's hostages rescue.
--:-- Anas Baba: In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced to South Gaza, where Israel says it's safer. But that area has also been bombed almost daily.
--:-- Noor Rahm: This is NPR News.
--:-- Noor Rahm: Thousands of people have been forced from their homes in central and northern Vietnam. As a powerful typhoon approaches, it's expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain and storm surges, which may trigger flash floods and landslides. Some airports are closed. The typhoon hit the central Philippines last week. At least 10 people died.
--:-- Noor Rahm: Retired U.S. Foreign Service officer Tess Johnston died this month in Washington, D.C. Johnston had a second career documenting the colonial architecture of Shanghai. NPR's Frank Langford reports.
--:-- Frank Langford: Johnson roamed the streets and back alleys cataloging French villas and neoclassical buildings that gave Shanghai its cosmopolitan face. It was a race against the wrecking ball as China's boom fueled the mass demolition of colonial architecture in favor of modern high-rises.
--:-- Frank Langford: As she told me in 2016, "Where else in the world would you find such a variety of buildings? Maybe New York City." And it was just enchanting, really enchanting.
--:-- Frank Langford: With Chinese photographer Erdogchang, Johnston published more than two dozen books introducing a new generation to an architectural heritage that had largely been forgotten. As she put it, "I'm grateful I could be here and see it as it was."
--:-- Noor Rahm: New York City Mayor Eric Adams today abandoned his effort to win another term. The one-time Democrat was running as an independent. He'd been running behind Zoran Mandani, the winner of the Democratic primary, and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who stepped down as governor after a sexual misconduct scandal. It's now a three-way race with Republican Curtis Sliwa. I'm Noor Rahm, NPR News in Washington.
