Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her campaign’s “closing argument” Tuesday night at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. — the same place where former President Donald Trump told his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021 to “fight like hell” before entering the U.S. Capitol would plunder. Harris said next week’s election presents voters with a stark choice: “It’s a choice about whether we will have a country rooted in freedom for every American — or ruled by chaos and division.” While raising poignant issues for voters, Harris also sought to confront her biggest political weakness, saying major political figures should stop using immigration as a wedge and rather see it as a serious challenge that needs to be solved .

After police tried to get the suspect to the door of his room and surrender peacefully, he began shooting with a pistol, shotgun and rifle, authorities said.

An Israeli airstrike on a multi-storey building in northern Gaza killed more than 90 people, including 25 children, according to Palestinian authorities. The US called Tuesday’s attack “heinous” and the UN called it one of Israel’s deadliest attacks in almost three months. The Israeli military said it was targeting a “suspected terrorist” and “trying to understand” why so many people were in the area at the time. The strike came a day after Israel banned the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees from operating in the country, a move that sparked international outrage. Several displaced Gazans told CNN that the agency was a lifeline for healthcare, education and food.
