President Donald Trump¹ and lawmakers are calling for unity² after a shooting at a Republican baseball practice Wednesday morning. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and several others were wounded in the attack just outside Washington. The shooter, 66-year-old James Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, died after a gun battle with US Capitol police officers.

Authorities say a shooting at a San Francisco UPS warehouse³ has left four people dead, including the gun man. Police say two others were wounded. The motive⁴ hasn't been determined⁵.

At least 12 people died after an early-morning blaze at a high-rise apartment building in West London. Fire crews continue to tackle pockets of fire in the Grenfell Tower with many people still unaccounted for.

A group of homeless and formerly⁶ homeless men and women from Texas are making history on stage at New York's Carnegie Hall. The Dallas Street Choir's performance Wednesday evening is a first in Carnegie Hall's 160-year history.
