Summary

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—two violent incidents on American soil are now drawing the attention of federal investigators: an attack on a synagogue outside Detroit and a deadly shooting inside an ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Authorities say the Virginia case is being investigated as an act of terrorism, while the synagogue attack is being treated as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community. I’ll have the details. Later in the show—Cuba’s communist leadership is acknowledging talks with the United States for the first time in years. We’ll look at what’s behind the diplomatic opening and why the island’s deepening energy crisis may be forcing Havana to the table.
