White House Security Shock: A gunman opened fire near a Secret Service checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW Saturday evening, triggering a brief lockdown as reporters were moved indoors; the suspect was killed in the exchange and a bystander was also hit. Iran Deal Update: Hours earlier, President Trump said an agreement with Iran is “largely negotiated,” pending finalization, as talks continue with regional leaders. Pennsylvania Jobs Snapshot: Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate held at 4.2% in April, with job gains led by professional/business services and education/health. Local Money Returned: State Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Rep. Mike Armanini announced more than $500,000 in unclaimed property returned to residents in Elk and Clearfield counties. Workforce Pressure for Young Adults: New reporting highlights how tougher hiring and AI are squeezing entry-level job prospects—especially for autistic college graduates. Business & Training Pipeline: Piedmont Airlines maintenance careers are drawing recruits through tuition support and in-person training pathways.
