GEOFF BENNETT: We start today's other headlines outside Chicago.

The Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer shot and killed a suspect who had tried to avoid arrest by driving his car into officers.

Authorities say the incident took place in the Franklin Park suburb about 18 miles west of Chicago.

One officer was hit by the vehicle, was taken to a hospital, and is now in stable condition.

DHS says the suspect was in the country illegally and had a history of reckless driving.

The shooting comes amid a broader federal immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

Meantime, President Trump says he's sending National Guard troops to Memphis to address crime there.

On FOX News this morning, the president said the state's Republican governor and the city's Democratic mayor are, in his words, happy about the plan.

Later, at a news conference, Mayor Paul Young confirmed his commitment, but made clear he doesn't necessarily agree with the approach.

PAUL YOUNG, Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee: I did not ask for the National Guard, and I don't think it's the way to drive down crime.

However, that decision has been made.

My commitment is to make sure that we work strategically to ensure that this happens in a way that truly benefits and strengthens our community.

GEOFF BENNETT: Other Tennessee officials are more critical.

The mayor of Shelby County, which includes Memphis, criticized the move in a social media post, saying: "No one here is happy, not happy at all with the occupation, armored vehicles, semiautomatic weapons, and military personnel in fatigues."

This week, Memphis police reported a decrease across all major crime categories in the first eight months of 2025 compared to previous years.

Missouri's Senate passed a redistricting plan today that could help Republicans pick up an additional seat in Congress.

Once signed by the governor, it would make Missouri the third state to change its maps ahead of next year's midterm elections.

Texas has already passed a measure that would help Republicans pick up five seats.

California countered with a similar plan to aid Democrats, though it still needs voter approval.

Opponents of Missouri's measure are trying to push back, though.

They have launched a petition effort to try to force a statewide referendum on the new map.

The Environmental Protection Agency moved today to stop the collection of emissions data from some 8,000 U.S. facilities.

The proposal, which still needs to be finalized, would end a program that requires coal-burning power plants and other industrial facilities to report their greenhouse gas emissions.

Since 2010, the government has used this data to assess the environmental impact of those sites.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the requirement is -- quote -- "nothing more than bureaucratic red tape that does nothing to improve air quality."

Critics say the proposal could hurt efforts to fight climate change.

Many of the nation's universities are on heightened alert heading into the weekend after a series of fake threats led schools to cancel classes and even send students home.

At least six historically Black colleges and universities have been the targets of such threats in recent days.

A similar incident happened at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

At the us Naval Academy in Maryland, a midshipman and law enforcement officer were injured after a false report of an active shooter caused confusion on that campus.

Both are now in stable condition.

The threats come amid heightened tensions following the murder of Charlie Kirk on a campus in Utah, though the FBI says there have been no credible threats so far.

The U.N. General Assembly says it's endorsing what it calls tangible and irreversible steps for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

Today's declaration was boycotted by the U.S. and Israel.

It comes ahead of a gathering by world leaders at the U.N. later this month, where Britain, France, and others are expected to formally recognize a Palestinian state.

Ahead of that, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is heading to Israel next week to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to Israeli security.

Meantime, in Gaza today, health officials say Israeli strikes killed at least 40 people, most of them in Gaza City.

Residents say they are caught in the crossfire.

FAWZI MEDNA, Resident of Targeted Neighborhood (through translator): People are in the streets.

Where are they supposed to go?

Please look.

Where are the people going?

We are exhausted.

We are unarmed.

We belong to no one.

We are civilians.

GEOFF BENNETT: The latest Gaza strikes come amid ongoing anger among Arab nations over Israel's strike this week targeting Hamas leaders in Doha.

Qatar's prime minister was in Washington today meeting with top U.S. officials to discuss the strike.

He's also set to meet with President Trump in New York.

Qatar will host an emergency summit of Arab leaders on Sunday.

Nepal has a new interim prime minister following that country's worst upheaval in years.

Former Supreme Court Justice Sushila Karki took her oath on live television today.

She's the first woman ever to head that nation's government.

Karki takes the helm after violent protests over a short-lived social media ban forced her predecessor to resign.

Protesters torched government buildings and clashed with police.

Officials now say at least 51 people were killed.

On Wall Street today, stocks ended mixed to close out what was an otherwise strong week.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 270 points on the day.

The Nasdaq added nearly 100 points.

The S&P 500 slipped back slightly from its all-time high.

Still to come on the "News Hour": the viral images surrounding Charlie Kirk's murder present difficulties for parents and their kids; David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart weigh in on the week's political headlines; and a 66-year-old retired accountant realizes his dreams by joining a university marching band.
