15.10.2026 ⇢ The Day a Teen Gunman Killed Four at a Bend Elementary School
⌨

Overnight editors stayed with Ukraine, reporting Kyiv resumed strikes on Russian refineries while out of U.S. Patriot interceptors and constrained by Starlink limits, with claims Washington withheld warnings before Russian strikes on Kyiv and Trump pressing Zelensky for concessions.

By midday attention shifted to the federal probe of Rep. Ilhan Omar, with outlets reporting seizure of her phone and passport, subpoenas to relatives, and officials describing an effort to strip citizenship and deport her, which Omar allies called political intimidation.

Trump then reversed the Pentagon plan to livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan after bipartisan backlash, alongside renewed scrutiny of press secretary Katie Zacharia over failing the California bar.

Evening coverage pivoted to Bend, Oregon, where police said a teen gunman killed three children and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary before being shot dead by an armed bystander.
