US makes new 'self-defense strikes' against Iran in response to Apache helicopter incident
President Trump directed the U.S. to begin new "self-defense strikes" on Iran on Tuesday, in response to Iran downing a U.S. helicopter on Monday.

The strikes were completed by Tuesday evening Eastern Time.
"U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression," CENTCOM wrote.
Community rallies around family of teen killed at Desert Sky Mall with car wash fundraiser
One week after 17-year-old Kevin Zamora was shot and killed inside Desert Sky Mall, the community gathered Tuesday to support his grieving family with a car wash fundraiser outside Ace of Wingz.
Armando Rubio and Pablo Higuera organized the event, bringing in multiple detailers who volunteered their time. All proceeds from the car wash, along with a portion of sales from inside Ace of Wingz, went to the Zamora family. Some family members were present at the fundraiser and were thankful for the community support.
"Not even a full adult yet, a minor, working to put food on the table for his family, and it just really hurts to hear," Higuera said.
Rubio described the effort his team put into making the event a success.
"I got 3 to 4 detailers pulling up," Rubio said. "We're going to get a little burnt, but it's OK, um, as long as we help out, you know, it's going to feel good from the heart.”

"It sounds cheesy, but honestly, a dream come true," Jensen said.
Not long ago, the future felt much harder to picture.
After years of infertility and IVF treatments, Jensen finally became pregnant. But with the joy came an unexpected diagnosis.
