• FBI flagged San Diego mosque shooter as potential threat; father's guns seized a year prior — Caleb Vazquez, 18, one of two white supremacist shooters who killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, had been flagged by the FBI as a "potential threat" and was already on law enforcement radar. Local officials, alarmed by his idolization of mass shooters and Nazism, seized his father's guns in a protective order a year before the attack. Vazquez had also been placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold. Despite these interventions, he and accomplice Cain Clark, 17, carried out the mosque attack, which killed a security guard and two other men.

• South Carolina Republicans propose redistricting to dismantle James Clyburn's congressional district — South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster called a special legislative session to consider a proposal to redraw the state's sixth congressional district, currently represented by Democrat James Clyburn, the state's only Black Democratic congressman since 1897.
