Eight people waiting at a bus stop in a Texas border city were killed and a dozen more were injured early yesterday when a vehicle rammed into them, officials said. The victims, who are believed to be migrants, were at a stop near a Catholic Charities shelter in Brownsville when the crash occurred around 8:30 a.m., police said. A senior law enforcement official told NBC News it's not clear whether it was intentional and that the investigation is ongoing. The driver, a Hispanic male, has not been cooperating with investigators, police said. Brownsville is one of the cities already seeing a surge in migrants trying to cross into the U.S. as border Covid restrictions, known as the Title 42 program, are set to be lifted on Thursday. Here's the latest.

Survivors described a harrowing scene in which a gunman shot and killed eight people on Saturday night at a mall in Allen, Texas, before police killed the suspect. The shooter, identified by police as Mauricio Garcia, 33, had a tactical vest and was armed with an AR-15-style assault weapon and handgun, an official said. A former police officer described pulling a young boy covered in blood from underneath his wounded mother. "The trail of blood from where the victims were laying to the police car will stick in my head forever," he told NBC News. A mother recalled getting a muffled call from her son that a shooting was taking place, and a store manager detailed frantically locking the door as shots rang out. The shooter was a suspected neo-Nazi sympathizer, authorities say. Here's the latest. |

Ha Nguyen and Isabella Solimene were separated at birth in Vietnam when their single mother gave them up for adoption. They were raised nearly 9,000 miles apart, with Ha growing up in a mountain village in Vietnam and Isabella in Chicago. They finally met for the first time when they were 13 in 2011, but things got off to a rocky start. "We hugged, but it was awkward," Isabella, now 24, told TODAY.com. They couldn't communicate directly due to the language barrier. "We were strangers," Ha said. Fast forward to today and the sisters are inseparable and best friends. "She'll understand what I'm feeling without me having to say a word," Isabella said. Read how they overcame their differences here. |

New research has identified abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, ongoing diarrhea and anemia as crucial symptoms of early-onset colon cancer, according to the Washington University School of Medicine. Participants in the study had at least one of those four symptoms as early as two years before they were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The findings come as the proportion of colorectal cancer cases in people under 55 jumped from 11% to 20% from 1995 to 2019. Colonoscopies are not recommended until 45, which means people could have symptoms long before they are diagnosed with a disease that's treatable if it's caught early. Here's what experts say to do if you have any of those symptoms. |

If you're struggling to lose weight, your metabolism might not be low — it might just be stuck. Author and TV host Dr. Ian Smith's 2-2-2 method aims to fix that by giving you more metabolic flexibility. What that means is the ability to burn fat and carbs, instead of just one or the other, in order to boost your metabolism. The 6-week program puts you on two weeks of carb-heavy meals to get your body used to burning carbs, then two weeks of healthy fats, like salmon and green beans. That's followed by a mix of keto days and carb loading to alternate between fats and carbs. Smith also demonstrated exercises to help with weight loss, as well as the importance of journaling to track your progress. Learn more. |

Save yourself the money you would've spent on takeout by making this flavor-packed chicken teriyaki from chef Becca Jacobs. The key to the 30-minute dish is the sauce, a combination of sweet and salty made with soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic and ginger. You don't even have to marinate the chicken; just sear it and then drop it in the sauce as it begins to form. Serve everything over steamed rice, which soaks up the sticky sweet teriyaki sauce. Get the recipe. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
It wouldn't be a proper gathering of the British monarchy without adorable reaction faces from the youngest royals! Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 8, had a blast at yesterday's coronation concert at Windsor Castle in honor of their grandfather, King Charles III. Charlotte appeared to burst into laughter at one point (above) at a concert filled with appearances by everyone from Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy to Katy Perry. Charlotte was spotted singing along to Perry's "Roar" and laughing at the classic Muppets characters, while George and his father, Prince William, had some sweet moments together enjoying the show. See all the photos here. |
