The Metropolitan Police Department's interim chief says the suspect later shot himself inside an apartment where he'd been speaking by phone to police negotiators. Mayor Muriel Bowser says she's “devastated” at the loss of life in a “senseless act of gun violence.” The shootings occurred Thursday morning in Logan Circle, just north of the White House.

Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner brokered talks this week between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv. The meeting in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, brought the first direct discussions between Ukrainian and Russian representatives in nine months as the push for a settlement stalled. Although no major breakthroughs occurred, they agreed on a large prisoner swap. The U.S. and Zelenskyy want Europe involved in negotiations, but Russia opposes this. In Ukraine, meanwhile, fighting continues along the front line between forces from Kyiv and Moscow. Senators probing RFK Jr.'s testimony on Samoa trip after AP and Guardian showed documents refute it NEW YORK (AP) — Two Democratic senators are launching an investigation into whether Health Secretary Robert F.

The same senators, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, are investigating hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts reportedly given last year to Kennedy by a donor and former employee.

Trump administration will fund new research on controversial psychedelic drug ibogaine WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials say there's new funding to study the medical potential of a powerful psychedelic.

Ibogaine is made from an African plant and can cause intense hallucinations, nausea, tremors and dangerous heart rhythms. It's currently illegal in the United States.
