CHICAGO. A shooting at Endeavor Health's Swedish Hospital on the North Side on Saturday around 11 a.m. wounded two police officers, one of whom was reported to be in critical condition, Ald. Andre Vasquez's office said. The alderman's office described the incident as an active investigation and urged people in the area to avoid the vicinity while authorities responded.

Endeavor Health, which operates the hospital, said the hospital campus was closed because of the shooting but added it was 'not aware of any active threat within the hospital' and that patients and staff were safe. At about 12:40 p.m., Vasquez's office said a suspect was in custody. Chicago police did not immediately respond to a request for information.

Washington — US President Donald Trump announced late Saturday, April 25, that he cancelled the planned trip of US representatives to Islamabad who were due to meet Iranian officials; some outlets named the envoys as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. The cancellation was posted on Trump's Truth Social account after Iran's minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Pakistan for talks.

The decision followed Iran's earlier statement that no meeting with the US was planned and reports that Abbas Araghchi departed Islamabad without direct U.S. meetings this week. Trump cited perceived infighting within Iran and said telephone diplomacy could replace the envoys' trip; Pakistan is expected to convey Iran's observations as discussions shift to remote channels.

Portland — The San Antonio Spurs erased a 19-point deficit to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 114-93 on April 26, with Victor Wembanyama returning from a concussion and De'Aaron Fox leading scorers. Wembanyama posted 27 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks, and the Spurs outscored Portland 73-35 in the second half.

The win gave San Antonio a 3-1 lead in the first-round series and put the Spurs one victory from advancing to the Western Conference semifinals this week; meanwhile, on Sunday the Houston Rockets routed the Los Angeles Lakers 115-96, fueled by Amen Thompson's 23 points and 24 forced turnovers that kept Houston's series hopes alive.

Mobile, Alabama. Local meteorologists reported lingering showers and weakening storms this morning, with mostly cloudy skies and scattered afternoon redevelopment possible across parts of Alabama and Kentucky. Forecasters said Sunday will be generally drier and warmer, with highs in the 70s to low 80s, before a cold front approaches late Monday into Tuesday.

Birmingham and Lexington-area forecasts warned that the warm, humid air returning Monday and gusty southerly winds could fuel a cluster of strong to severe storms Monday night into Tuesday, bringing risks of damaging wind gusts, hail, and isolated tornadoes. Authorities advised residents and event organizers to monitor app alerts and official updates through Monday and Tuesday.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will hear arguments this Monday over whether geofence warrants used to identify a suspect in a Virginia bank robbery violate the Fourth Amendment. Investigators used a geofence warrant served on Google after a May 2019 robbery in suburban Richmond to place Okello Chatrie’s cellphone near the scene, then obtained a search warrant.

The geofence data led to a home search that produced nearly $100,000 in cash; Chatrie pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nearly 12 years, and his appeal argues the geofence warrant was an unreasonable search. This case is being argued alongside a separate Bayer Roundup appeal, and the Court’s decision will shape standards for location-data warrants and evidentiary use.

LOS ANGELES. The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a multi-game weekend sweep at Dodger Stadium, with Friday’s comeback sealed when Dansby Swanson hit a 413-foot, two-run home run off Tanner Scott in the ninth inning to produce a 6-4 win; the Dodgers also posted a 12-4 victory Saturday and a 6-0 win Sunday.

The sequence spurred scrutiny of Los Angeles' bullpen, especially Tanner Scott’s late pitch and the club’s adjustments in Edwin Díaz’s absence this week; Emmet Sheehan recorded ten strikeouts in a strong start Friday, and the Cubs scheduled Shota Imanaga as a forthcoming starter as both teams prepare for upcoming divisional matchups.

Tampa, Fla. A roommate, 26-year-old Hisham Abugharbieh, was charged Saturday with two counts of first-degree murder with a weapon in the deaths of University of South Florida students Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy after Limon's remains were found on the Howard Frankland bridge and Bristy was reported missing earlier this month.

Hillsborough County deputies arrested Abugharbieh at his family's home on Friday on preliminary counts including unlawfully moving a body, tampering with evidence, false imprisonment and battery; authorities presented evidence to the State Attorney's Office, said an autopsy is pending, and asked the public this week to assist investigators seeking Bristy.

Wausau, Wisconsin. Local meteorologists forecast a cooler weekend with temperatures near seasonal averages and a warm front moving into the region on Monday that could bring showers and a chance of strong to severe storms mainly south of Madison; other regional outlets report thunderstorms developing Friday into the weekend in California high country and heat-driven afternoon storms in South Florida on Sunday.

Salt Lake City forecasts rain Sunday with much colder highs near the low 50s, gusts exceeding 30 mph, measurable valley rainfall and 6–12 inches of mountain snow at Alta; stations advise boaters and beachgoers to monitor rip-current and storm advisories, while officials and residents are urged to follow updates through Monday as conditions evolve.

Philadelphia — The Eagles acquired Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard from the Minnesota Vikings and signed him to a four-year, $100 million contract on Friday after completing a physical and passing team medicals; Minnesota received two third-round picks as compensation in the transaction announced by both clubs.

The move came amid roster and salary-cap considerations, with Vikings interim general manager Rob Brzezinski acknowledging the decision weakened the team short term while citing finances; Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said the trade closed a personnel and accounting cycle, and Greenard attended a Philadelphia sporting event shortly after signing this week.

HOUSTON — The Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a six-point deficit in the final 30 seconds to force overtime and defeated the Houston Rockets 112-108 on Friday, with LeBron James scoring 29 points and hitting a tying three with about 13 seconds remaining in regulation.

The victory gives the Lakers a 3-0 series lead and a chance to complete a sweep in Houston on Sunday; coach Ime Udoka criticized his team's late-game execution, Kevin Durant remained absent with a sprained left ankle, and the Rockets now face steep odds to avoid elimination.
