Summary

Two firefighters were killed and another was injured when a gunman opened fire during a wildfire response in Idaho. Authorities say the fire was intentionally set to lure and ambush first responders. The 20-year-old suspect was later found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot, according to investigators. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says there will be no immediate direct diplomatic talks with the U.S., but that “the doors of diplomacy will never slam shut.” A father jumped into the ocean to save his young daughter after she fell overboard from a Disney Cruise Line ship on its way back to South Florida, prompting a dramatic rescue at sea.
