(CNN) — Authorities are investigating what led a 17-year-old homeschooled wrestler and an 18-year-old to allegedly open fire on San Diego’s largest mosque on Monday, killing three people in what police have called a hate crime.

The suspects were found dead in a car on a street close to the mosque with apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to multiple law enforcement officials.

As part of their investigation, authorities are looking at hate speech scrawled on one of the weapons used in the attack, and a suicide note that contained writings about racial pride, officials have said.

The FBI is working closely with law enforcement partners, said Mark Remily, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Diego field office, adding investigators were interviewing family and friends of the suspects and “gathering all the evidence from the scene for review.”

The 17-year-old suspect has been identified by a law enforcement source and audio from police dispatch as Cain Clark, while the identity of the second suspect has not been released.

About two hours before the shooting was reported, police received a call from Clark’s mother who reported her son and vehicle missing, alongside several of her weapons, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said.

The mother said her son was suicidal and was with a companion, both dressed in camouflage, Wahl said, which triggered a “larger threat assessment picture.” The number of weapons he took from the home led investigators to believe the teen may be a threat to others, the chief said.

Dispatch audio reviewed by CNN captures officers reporting around 12 p.m. Monday a search for “two white males… wearing all camo” that could be armed with a stolen handgun, a shotgun and a rifle.

When police arrived at the scene, they found the three deceased victims outside the mosque, who authorities have not identified. One of those killed was a security guard whose actions were described by police as “heroic” and “saved lives.”

Law enforcement began an active-shooter response and entered the mosque and an adjacent school before discovering the vehicle with the two male suspects inside, both deceased.

Authorities are carrying out search warrants to follow any leads and information to determine how the shooting unfolded and what could have been done to prevent it, Wahl said. The investigation is being aided by copious evidence, including Read more

Hebron, Kentucky (CNN) — The race against Rep. Thomas Massie has overshadowed the campaign for Ed Gallrein, the farmer and former Navy SEAL recruited to run against him.

Yet Massie and Gallrein are the actual choices facing Republican voters Tuesday in a Kentucky primary, despite President Donald Trump looming large over a race that has become the latest stop on his revenge tour.

When the ballots are counted Tuesday night in what could become the most expensive US House primary in history, the outcome between Massie and Gallrein may provide a window into whether a deluge of attack ads and a presidential megaphone can outweigh a lifetime of relationships Massie has built across his corner of northern Kentucky.

No Republican has incensed the president more than Massie, who led the charge to release the Epstein files, voted against Trump’s landmark One Big Beautiful Bill Act and has fiercely opposed the Iran war.

Gallrein has pledged full loyalty to the Trump agenda, saying on Monday: “There has never been a more important time to stand behind our president.”

Massie, a rare contrarian in a compliant era for Republicans, acknowledges that he’s in a fight for his political life, but told supporters at an election eve rally the attacks would backfire, declaring: “They’re tried to turn me into a villain. The more they try to punish me, the more powerful I get.”

The list of Republicans falling to Trump’s wrath is growing, with Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on Saturday the latest to join the ranks of those who stood up to Trump and ultimately lost power. Whether Massie will join that group will be decided by the GOP voters of Kentucky’s 4th District.

“It’s Trump versus Massie,” said Jonathan Ruggles, vice chairman of the Lewis County Republican Party. “The ones that will not vote for Massie are voting for Trump indirectly. They’re not voting for Gallrein outright.”

Who is Ed Gallrein?

For months, Gallrein has played something of a bit part in a race that could ultimately send him to Congress.

He’s not just endorsed by Trump but was handpicked by the White House to join the race to knock out Massie. Trump has described Gallrein as “strong as hell,” a character straight out of central casting.

“He’s a true American hero,” Trump said during a visit to Kentucky earlier this spring where he stood alongside Gallrein. “He’s a great patriot and he’s doing it because he saw what this guy was doing to our country.”

Yet Trump devoted far more of his time tearing into Massie, telling the crowd: “He’s got to be voted out of office as soon as possible.”

Gallrein, 68, has never served in public office. He fell short in a Republican primary for a Kentucky state senate seat in 2024. He’s not a natural speaker or fiery orator.

But when Trump’s allies were looking for a candidate to challenge Massie, Gallrein stood out because of his long service in the military and his standing in the community as a fifth-generation farmer in Shelby County, east of Louisville.

“If we do not take advantage of this narrow window of advantage we have,” Gallrein said, “history will punish us.”

Gallrein declined to debate Massie in several forums, including a marquee event on statewide Kentucky Educational Television. At some local Republican events, Massie sat by an empty chair, always noting his opponent’s absence.

When voters asked Gallrein about his unwillingness to debate Massie, he pushed back.

“I’m debating him every day,” Gallrein told voters in the closing days of the race. “I’m talking right to the American people, just

New York (CNN) — Wholesale motor oil prices are rising rapidly, and some industry executives are warning of imminent shortages caused by the war with Iran.

Damage to key facilities in the Middle East and the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz have combined to create a perfect storm in this tiny but critical corner of the oil market.

The risk is that some of the most popular kinds of motor oil will be in very short supply, forcing drivers to delay getting their oil changed or rely on suboptimal lubricants.

“We’re looking at shortages — I have no doubt in my mind,” Holly Alfano, CEO of the Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association (ILMA), an industry trade group, told CNN. “It’s a big mess — and it’s not going to be resolved quickly. It could take a year or so before we see any real relief.”

The most important motor oil

Tom Glenn, president and founder of Petroleum Trends International and publisher of industry publication JobbersWorld, has chronicled the multiple rounds of dizzying price hikes on motor oil since the war started.

“Three rounds of price increases over two and a half months is unheard of. And the magnitude is stunning,” Glenn told CNN. “I’ve been in this business since 1979, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this.”

In a normal year, motor oil producers would increase prices for distributors by 70 to 80 cents a gallon. But already this year, Glenn said, some producers have lifted prices on distributors buying in bulk by $5 or more a gallon.

These price hikes are being driven by a combination of higher prices for crude oil, base oils, additives, transportation, packaging and logistics.

Not only are prices rising, but ILMA warns of an “imminent shortage” of low viscosity grade oils, including 0W-16, 0W-8 and 0W-20 — which is the most important grade of motor oil on the market today.

It’s the go-to motor oil for newer vehicles, accounting for roughly one-third of total passenger car motor oil demand last year, according to Petroleum Trends International.

‘Safety valve is effectively closed’

The motor oil situation is another reminder of the fragile nature of global supply chains.

The problem is that almost half (44%) of the most important base oil used to make motor oil, known as Group III, comes from just three Persian Gulf producers, according to ILMA.

Those Middle East supplies have been derailed by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz after the war started in late February.

Not only that, but Pearl GTL, the world’s largest gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant located in Qatar, was attacked and seriously damaged in Iran. That means one of the leading suppliers of Group III base oils has been knocked offline indefinitely.

“The US is expected to run out of Mideast Gulf-origin Group III by June,” ILMA said in a bulletin published last week.

Normally, the United States would turn to South Korea to fill the gap, but Asian refiners rely on the Strait of Hormuz for much of their crude. And Asian refiners that do have access to crude are focused on making as much jet fuel and diesel as they can to capture historically high profit margins.

Motor oil can also be made with Group II base oils, but those are also being diverted to diesel to meet demand and historically high margins.

“The Group II safety valve is effectively closed,” ILMA said in its bulletin.

Talks with Trump administration

Alfano, the ILMA CEO, said her group is hearing anecdotal reports that certain parts of the United States are already facing shortages.

“It’s going t

Washington (CNN) — The National Transportation Safety Board will meet Tuesday and Wednesday to investigate why a UPS McDonnell Douglas MD-11F lost an engine and crashed after taking off last year from Louisville, Kentucky.

The hearing comes just days after the Federal Aviation Administration cleared the same type of aircraft to return to the skies.

On November 4, UPS flight 2976, a cargo plane headed to Hawaii, crashed moments after taking off from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, spreading flames and wreckage for a half-mile and sending black smoke billowing into the sky. Fourteen people died, including the three crew members on the plane 23 people on the ground were injured.

The UPS freighter was a 34-year-old jet with three engines: two on the wings and one on the tail.

Now, over the two days of the hearing, the NTSB will question witnesses, including representatives of UPS, the pilot’s union, the FAA and Boeing, to help determine what went wrong.

Preliminary findings show fatigue cracks, overstressing

The agency already determined a pair of structural fittings that kept the left jet engine attached to the wing failed, according to a preliminary NTSB report.

Airport surveillance video the NTSB analyzed frame by frame showed the engine separating and going up and over the wing before falling alongside the runway. The plane spewed fire and only got about 30 feet in the air before crashing into a warehouse, storage yard, and petroleum recycling facility.

The pieces attaching the engine to the wing, known as lugs, showed signs of fatigue cracking and over-stressing, investigators said.

Three days after the crash, UPS grounded its MD-11 planes, and the following day the FAA grounded all MD-11 planes in the United States until inspections were completed. At the time of the crash, MD-11 aircraft made up approximately 9% of UPS’ fleet, the carrier said. FedEx and Western Global Airlines also flew the same type of aircraft.

Last week, “after extensive review, the FAA approved Boeing’s protocol for safely returning MD-11 airplanes to service,” the agency told CNN in a statement.

Boeing, the manufacturer is responsible for the MD-11 since it bought McDonnell Douglas, provided inspection and repair instructions. Boeing “continues to provide technical support and guidance to help them meet FAA requirements,” a company spokesperson told CNN.

UPS announced it does not plan to fly its MD-11s any longer. However FedEx has already resumed some flights with repaired and inspected aircraft.

Unanswered questions

During this week’s hearings, more details about what caused the crash are expected to be made public.

All previous maintenance will be reviewed, including overhaul work done for six weeks that the aircraft was out of service in September and October in San Antonio, Texas. The plane resumed flying for UPS less than a month before the crash.

The information from the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder will indicate what the pilots said and how they reacted to the troubled flight.

Investigators will also probe what information UPS was required to report to Boeing and the FAA, operational safety process and engine attachment designs.

A final report from the NTSB is typically expected in 18 to 24 months after an accident, d

Un juez de Nueva York dictaminó este lunes que algunas pruebas encontradas en la mochila de Luigi Mangione en el momento de su detención serán excluidas de su próximo juicio, aunque sí serán admitidos otros elementos clave, como una pistola impresa en 3D y escritos que expresan frustración con el sector sanitario.

Aunque algunas de las pertenencias de Mangione fueron excluidas del caso, el fallo mixto representa en gran medida una victoria para los fiscales, quienes podrán mostrar al jurado el llamado “manifiesto” y el arma de fuego que, según afirman, se utilizó para matar al CEO de UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson.

Los abogados de Mangione argumentaron que la policía local registró ilegalmente su mochila cuando fue arrestado en un McDonald’s de Pensilvania en diciembre de 2024, días después de que Thompson fuera asesinado a tiros en una acera de Manhattan.

Los agentes continuaron registrando la mochila en la comisaría de Altoona antes de solicitar una orden de registro ese mismo día.

El juez Gregory Carro dictaminó que la fiscalía puede usar el arma y una libreta roja con anotaciones manuscritas en el juicio.

Estos objetos, entre otros, fueron recuperados como parte de un registro válido según el protocolo del Departamento de Policía de Altoona, escribió Carro en su resolución.

Sin embargo, los objetos encontrados durante el registro inicial en el McDonald’s —entre ellos un cargador, un pasaporte, una cartera, un teléfono celular y un chip de computadora— serán excluidos.

Si bien los agentes de policía afirmaron que registraron la bolsa en parte por temor a que contuviera un arma, Carro determinó que dicha justificación no se sostenía tras un análisis minucioso.

“Sin embargo, si bien las imágenes de las cámaras corporales mostraron que los agentes expresaron su preocupación en el lugar de los hechos de que la mochila pudiera contener una bomba, no había pruebas de que existiera un arma de fuego ni de que esta fuera la razón del registro”, escribió el juez. “Pero incluso si hubiera sido una preocupación legítima, en el momento del registro no existía la posibilidad de que el acusado sacara un arma de la mochila, y por lo tanto, no había ninguna urgencia”.

Los abogados defensores de Mangione habían presionado para que el contenido de la mochila fuera excluido del caso por la fiscalía, alegando que fue registrada ilegalmente, sin una orden judicial.

Los fiscales de la Oficina del Fiscal de Distrito de Manhattan negaron las alegaciones de la defensa e insistieron en que los registros fueron legales y apropiados.

El fallo de Carro se produce meses después de una audiencia de supresión de pruebas que duró nueve días e incluyó horas de grabaciones de las cámaras corporales de la policía que mostraban cómo se desarrolló el arresto y el testimonio de varios agentes del orden sobre los registros.

La audiencia de supresión de pruebas permitió al público vislumbrar algunas de las “pruebas muy contundentes” que los fiscales tienen en este caso, según declaró el analista legal de CNN, Joey Jackson.

“Los miembros del jurado podrán escuchar todo sobre ese cuaderno y todas las pruebas que demuestran su intención, cómo identificó lo que estaba haciendo, por qué lo hacía, etcétera”, declaró Jackson. “Verán el arma, el silenciador, y creo que eso les preocupará mucho”.

El caso ha generado un debate nacional y ha puesto de relieve la opinión pública sobre el sistema de salud estadounidense.

Mangione ha recibido numerosas muestras de apoyo
