| 0:00.0 | A federal agent fatally shot a man in Minneapolis this weekend. |
| 0:07.5 | That's where we're starting the seven from the Washington Post. |
| 0:10.8 | I'm Christina Quinn in for Hannah Jewel. |
| 0:13.4 | It's Monday, January 26th. |
| 0:15.6 | Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories. |
