May 4 Evening Brief
In Arizona
Authorities in Tucson say they are continuing DNA and video analysis in the search for Nancy Guthrie, who vanished from her home in early February. Investigators say they have received more than 3,000 tips, which is a lot of public help, and a reminder that cases like this can move only as fast as the evidence does.
In U.S. security and politics
The Secret Service says a suspect fired a weapon on the National Mall after officers confronted him, injuring a bystander. Officials have not released more details yet.
Separately, Donald Trump stirred fresh debate over presidential term limits after saying at a White House business summit that his time in office could stretch to eight or nine years. Because apparently four years was just a warm-up.
And a report says Pete Hegseth made inaccurate claims under oath about Joe Biden twice, once before the House Armed Services Committee and once before the Senate Armed Services Committee. The report says those statements were contradicted by fact-checking and by a named National Guard official, with no clear sign of consequences yet.
In the Middle East and Africa
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the U.S. and the UAE against any military action, saying there is no military solution to the political crisis. He said talks are making progress toward ending hostilities, while pointing to tensions around the Strait of Hormuz as a warning sign.
In eastern Congo, an ISIL-linked armed group has tortured, killed, and abducted civilians, including children. The attacks are deepening an already severe security crisis for local communities.
In culture and public protests
Outside the Met Gala in New York, protesters gathered over Jeff Bezos’ involvement, and one demonstrator briefly breached the entrance before being tackled by security. The event carried on, because very few things stop fashion’s biggest night, not even a protester making a point the hard way.
