I'm Mike Clifford.

We had first in the nation's capital where police say one person is dead, four people injured in a shooting at a gym near Logan Circle.

One of the injured is in critical condition.

NBC News notes the suspect is identified as a doctor.

Police say they were on the phone with him before they discovered him with the self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police say three weapons were recovered from the doctor's apartment, a handgun believed to have been used in the shooting, plus a rifle and a shotgun.

Meantime, Utah's midterm election results could reshape the balance of power at the state capitol and change the outlook for public lands.

Utah voters also sent a clear message that they value ballot initiatives.

Democrats gained a seat in the state congressional delegation and made major gains in other areas that were formerly Republican strongholds.

In a post-election assessment, Travis Sweet with Stewardship Utah says Democrats doubled the number of seats in the statehouse, ending the Republican supermajority in that chamber.

Talk to any campaigner or any candidate.

Most are pretty shell-shocked by the results that came through on Tuesday.

Republicans across the state lost seats.

I don't think many were expecting.

Sweet also says incoming legislators include more supporters of environmental priorities.

House Republican leaders say the results show they made mistakes during the midterm elections and will need to reevaluate how they engage the public.

Voters did reject Amendment B, which required 60 percent approval for tax-related ballot measures rather than a simple majority.

And attorneys in Massachusetts say ICE agents are violating new prohibitions on civil immigration arrests in courthouses and are calling on State Attorney General Andrea Campbell to take action.

The state's Protect Act went into effect on November 3rd, but ICE agents made arrests without judicial warrants at district courthouses in Chelsea, Medford and Peabody that very same day.

Brooke Simone, a staff attorney with the nonpartisan legal aid group Lawyers for Civil Rights, says more people have been detained without warrants since then.

ICE has continued to show that they believe they are above the law, so it's really important that we make sure that that does not go unanswered.

Lawyers for Civil Rights is asking A.G.

Campbell to file cases against ICE agents in state court if necessary.

The Department of Homeland Security has previously accused state officials in support of the Protect Act of putting politics above public safety and claimed that courthouse arrests are safer for agents because people inside have been verified as unarmed.

Access to healthy food is becoming a major focus in efforts to improve life expectancy in Indiana.

More now from our Joe Ulory.

Attention now turns to whether the incoming Congress can address rising costs facing Hoosier families and farmers.

Michael Happ with the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy says voters nationwide were concerned about the cost of everyday necessities.

All these costs, people are paying them, whether it's health care, whether it's grocery bills, whether it's electricity.

All those things were on the ballot.

I don't know that you can really point to one thing and say this is what swayed things, but all of these factors combined make life more expensive for folks in rural communities.

Democrats take control of both chambers in January, giving Ford and the rest of Indiana's congressional delegation a new political landscape as they confront food prices, health care costs, and agricultural policy.

As folks in Mississippi continue to deal with inflation, Tariffs on essential baby products are adding additional cost to necessities for infant care.

A recent trade agreement between the U.S. and China relaxed tariffs on legally required car seats, toys, and highchairs, but items like cribs and strollers were left off the list.

Allison Jacobson with Baby Safety Alliance says more should be done to help customers.

Families should have access to safe, compliant baby products at prices they can afford.

They shouldn't have to worry and make any sort of compensation for having safe products.

The trade framework doesn't specify what the new tariffs will be or when they'll start.

Jacobson says they're an unnecessary burden on American parents with newborn or young children during what should be a joyful time.

Finally, economic pressures facing small communities are reshaping what rural voters expect from their elected leaders.

Rising production costs and pressure on agricultural exports are among the top concerns for communities in Illinois.

Rising production costs and pressure on agricultural exports are among top concerns for Illinois communities.

Michael Happ with the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy points to a county-level analysis that found the state's 80 rural counties moved an average of 6.5 percentage points toward Democrats compared with the 2024 presidential election.

Happ thinks the results send a clear message.

I see these results as a rebuke of status quo farm policy.

There are a lot of people who are commodity farmers that are reliant on exports, and this administration has been shipping away a lot of the pillars of that kind of agriculture without providing alternatives.

University of Illinois researchers found fertilizer costs were 37 percent higher in 2025 compared to five years earlier.
