July 27, 2026 - Here’s everything that happened in America in the last 12 hours. The U.S. and Iran paused strikes for a second consecutive night Sunday, with UN Ambassador Mike Waltz saying Trump is giving diplomacy some space, though reports indicate concerns over dwindling U.S. interceptor missile stockpiles also factored into the decision to hold off on further escalation. The Pentagon updated its casualty database Saturday revealing 18 U.S. service members have been killed and 624 wounded since the Iran war began on February 28, restoring four soldiers killed last weekend who had briefly disappeared from the official count amid questions about transparency. A gunman opened fire at the Bite of Seattle food festival near the Space Needle on Sunday evening, killing three people and wounding four others including a 2-year-old toddler, with one suspect surrendering to police and a second still being searched for after fleeing the scene. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will meet Trump at the White House Tuesday, arriving in Washington also to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a key Ukraine supporter, as U.S. diplomatic attention turns back to the Russia-Ukraine war now that Iran strikes have paused. Lake Mead and Lake Powell have fallen to their lowest combined water levels in recorded history, with the Trump administration poised to impose sweeping mandatory water cuts on seven Western states after years of failed negotiations over the shrinking Colorado River supply. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu accused NYC Mayor Mamdani of fomenting hate after Mamdani called for his arrest under an ICC warrant, while Netanyahu vowed he will come to New York in September for the UN General Assembly and dismissed the war crimes charges as bogus. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving a 45-year U.S. prison sentence for drug trafficking before being pardoned by Trump in December, returned to Honduras Sunday and now faces separate fraud and money-laundering charges in his home country. A drive-by shooting in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood early Sunday injured six people, two critically, after an unidentified gunman opened fire on a large outdoor crowd from a passing vehicle, with the shooter remaining at large as detectives investigate. A gunman fired into a crowd in downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning after a verbal dispute, wounding two people one critically, before fleeing on foot with the suspect described as a man in his 30s still at large. A Waymo robotaxi on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles was struck by an oncoming sedan traveling at nearly 50 miles per hour after the sedan hit a pedestrian pushing a cart, leaving a woman critically injured and sending two people to the hospital. #USnews #NewsUpdate #newsfeed #BreakingNews #news - @dailyplugusa
