Iran renews missile attacks on Israel, hitting several buildings and wounding dozens of people
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Iran launched a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, triggering air raid sirens across the country as emergency services reported projectiles striking and shrapnel falling in Israel's north and center, wounding at least 67 people. Powerful explosions, likely from Israel's defense systems intercepting Iranian missiles, rocked Tel Aviv shortly before dawn, ushering in a fourth day of open warfare between the regional foes. Plumes of black smoke rose into the sky over the major coastal city. Authorities in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv said that Iranian missiles had hit a residential building there, charring concrete walls, blowing out windows and heavily damaging multiple apartments. There was no immediate word on the number of casualties from that strike as rescuers searched through the ruins. Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said it was treating 67 wounded people evacuated from four different places hit by missile strikes. It said most of the people were in moderate or mild condition. Iranian state TV said the country fired at least 100 missiles at Israel, signaling that it had no intention of yielding to international calls for de-escalation as it pressed on with its retaliation for Israel's surprise attack Friday on Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program and military leadership. The latest salvo comes after a weekend of escalating tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran that raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war. Iran on Sunday said Israel struck oil refineries, killed the intelligence chief of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and hit population centers in intensive aerial attacks that raised the death toll from Israel's campaign to 224 people. Health authorities also reported that 1,277 were wounded, without distinguishing between military officials and civilians. Israel said Iran had fired over 270 missiles since Friday, 22 of which slipped through the country's sophisticated multi-tiered air defenses and caused havoc in residential suburbs, killing 14 people and wounding 390 others as of late Sunday.

Manhunt for suspect in Minnesota lawmaker shooting continues
June 15 (UPI) -- The search for the man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers in a "politically motivated" attack continued for the second day Sunday as authorities urged residents to keep their doors locked and cars secured. State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot dead Saturday in their Brooklyn Park home, near Minneapolis. Earlier, State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were wounded when a gunman shot them "multiple times" in Champlin. The suspect was later identified as 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, who has not been located. Boelter's roommate told KMSP‑TV that he has multiple vehicles, one of which had been modified to look like a police car and was found outside of Hortman's house. In an emergency alert sent out Sunday in nearby Sibley County, authorities said a second vehicle owned by Boelter was found in Faxon Township. "Keep your doors locked and vehicles secured," the alert said. "Report suspicious activity to 911." Officials also said they would be going door-to-door to ask residents to search their properties for Boelter. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar indicated in an interview Sunday that Boelter may have left the state. Authorities have also put out an alert for him in South Dakota, she revealed on NBC News' Meet the Press. Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said Saturday that investigators found a "manifesto" in Boelter's vehicle that included the names of other possible targets. An official who saw the list told NBC News it included officials who supported reproductive rights. President Donald Trump on Sunday called Gov. Tim Walz a "terrible governor" and "a grossly incompetent person" in comments to ABC's Rachel Scott but said he "may call him." The Minnesota shootings came ahead of another shooting Saturday at a "No Kings" protest against Trump in Salt Lake City that took place around the country. A protest outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Oregon was declared a riot by the Portland Police Bureau on Saturday.
