  • The Secret Service increased law enforcement presence and screening for President Trump’s visit to Yankee Stadium on Thursday night.
  • No arrest or motive has been announced as investigators review fingerprints from the recovered rifle and evaluate other ballistic evidence.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported bullets recovered in the case bore political slogans, a detail authorities are assessing but have not confirmed.
  • Trump said he will posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and Vice President J.D. Vance met the family in Utah and accompanied the casket to Arizona.
