Motorists Attacked: Wave of Shootings on Seattle Highways

In recent weeks, motorists on highways in south King County have faced a series of alarming incidents. Six shootings were reported in a single night, with one driver shot in the neck and receiving treatment at Harborview Medical Center. The suspect, Marco A. Ramos Valdez, 28, of Auburn, was arrested and charged with drive-by shooting and assault. Valdez was linked to two of the shootings via witness descriptions and traffic camera footage. During a traffic stop, authorities discovered a semi-automatic handgun, ammunition, and shell casings in Valdez's vehicle. Despite claims of hearing voices and a defense questioning the identification, Valdez remains in custody with a $1 million bail. Authorities continue to investigate other shootings in the area, urging anyone with information to contact them.

Biden Reaffirms NATO Unity, Ukraine Awaits Membership Clarity

The NATO summit in Vilnius highlighted significant strides for Ukraine, although full membership remains contingent on ending the war and implementing democratic reforms. President Biden reaffirmed NATO's support, while Zelenskyy voiced concerns over the alliance's cautious approach. Ongoing military aid, including cluster munitions, underscores continued Western support for Ukraine’s defense.
