The Senate on thursday night Increased the possibility that a bill aimed at addressing the national drug crisis could reach President Trump's desk by year's end.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Senate cleared a major hurdle Thursday night on an opioids package, increasing the possibility that a bill aimed at addressing the national drug crisis could reach President Trump's desk by year's end.
Senators reached a deal to advance legislation that had long been stalled following House passage of a similar package to combat the epidemic of opioid addiction in the country. Senators said they hoped to vote on it as early as next week.

Signing such a measure into law would be a major accomplishment for lawmakers and the White House that, in a rare show of bipartisanship, have prioritized taking steps to combat an epidemic that killed 72,000 Americans last year.

The crisis has hit all corners of the country, and more than two-thirds of Americans say opioid misuse is a very or somewhat serious problem in their state. And that's consistent among Democrats, Republicans and independents, according to a POLITICO-Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health poll released in July.

The issue took on political resonance in 2016 when GOP candidates for president, most famously former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, spoke passionately about the pain of addiction on loved ones. This year, the American Action News, a nonprofit supporting right-leaning politicians, is spending $5 million on advertising in 25 congressional districts urging lawmakers to act on opioids.
Senate GOP leaders announced they would bring The Opioid Crisis Response Act, a collection of 70 lawmaker-sponsored proposals, to the floor next week for a vote.
The House passed another package of opioid measures in June, and the two sets of bills would need to be reconciled before becoming law. President Trump has declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency and on Aug. 20 urged the Senate to pass legislation, specifically a proposal to tackle the trafficking of synthetic drugs like fentanyl.

The deal was first announced in a tweet Thursday night by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) spokesman, Don Stewart, who wrote that Democrats lifted a hold placed on the bill and allowed the legislation to advance. Soon after, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) -- who has sponsored several bills that are part of the package including an effort to combat synthetic drugs like fentanyl -- released a statement praising the effort.

Sen. Lamar Alexandar (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and the Workforce Committee, led negotiations to hammer out remaining sticking points.

"This legislation represents the work of over 70 senators, five committees, and countless staff who have worked together to help put an end to the opioid epidemic ravaging virtually every American community," he said in an official announcement of the deal.

"The proposed bill includes the STOP Act to help stop illegal drugs at the border, including stopping the shipment of synthetic opioids. It allows the FDA to require prescription opioids to be packaged in set amounts like a 3 or 7 day supply of blister packs, and spurs the development of a new non-addictive painkiller. The House has already passed its version of the act, and there is a bipartisan urgency to work with our House colleagues to get the legislation to the President's desk."
The Senate bill had stalled over Democratic objections to a grant program they said was written too narrowly to benefit only one addiction advocacy group, the Addiction Policy Forum. The organization was closely connected to PhRMA and Democrats wanted the language broadened to cover more groups. The delay was first reported Wednesday by Politico.
Senators worked all summer to reach a deal, which has emerged as a rare bipartisan priority ahead of November's midterm elections. Trump increased the pressure on Aug. 20 by tweeting that lawmakers must pass the Portman-sponsored bill on shipments of illicit fentanyl through the international postal system.

"It is outrageous that Poisonous Synthetic Heroin Fentanyl comes pouring into the U.S. Postal System from China," Trump wrote on Twitte r. "We can, and must, END THIS NOW! The Senate should pass the STOP ACT - and firmly STOP this poison from killing our children and destroying our country. No more delay!"

While the Senate and House measures share a lot in common, Politico reports that several other issues held up the bill in recent weeks, including " requiring Medicaid to cover treatment at more inpatient facilities and loosening privacy restrictions for substance-abuse patients' medical records." Those provisions are in the House version, but did not make it into the Senate's final deal.

Broadly, the bill authorizes and expands programs for addiction prevention, treatment and recovery. It allows the National Institute of Health to research new, non-addictive painkillers.

Regina LaBelle, a public policy consultant who served as chief of staff and policy adviser at the Office of National Drug Control Policy in the Obama administration, commended lawmakers for reaching an agreement.

"It emphasizes prevention, making sure we have more people who can treat people with addiction and it supports people in recovery, it does reflect what the science tells us," she said. "There's always more that can be done, but in an election year, I think this is pretty good. I really do appreciate there's an effort being made to have a bipartisan solution."

Health-care industry experts expressed concern earlier this summer that politics could disrupt the bill's chances, noting that McConnell may not want to give red state Democrats a chance to support something advantageous to their voters. But in announcing the vote next week, Stewart took a shot at those skeptics,

"Now that the Dem holds have been lifted," he wrote in an email, "the Majority Leader, despite the assertions by the uninformed, anonymous sources, has sked (sic) a vote on the bill for next week."

It's important to note, however, that while this bill authorizes new spending, it remains to be seen whether lawmakers actually appropriate money for the programs involved. Some advocates have argued along the way that a piecemeal approach will not have the same impact as long-term funding dedicated to the problem.

Still, any movement forward on opioids in this polarized climate is a win for both sides of the aisle.
AHH, OOF and OUCH AHH: The Trump administration announced a proposal yesterday that would enable immigrant children to be held in detention indefinitely, our Post colleagues Nick Miroff and Maria Sacchetti report, "a move advocates say could lead to a rapid expansion of detention facilities and more time in custody for children."
The proposal from the departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security would terminate the 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement, which sets the current standards for detaining underage migrants.
The move will likely land the administration in a new legal battle over immigration, just months after its controversial move to stem the surge of asylum seekers from Central America by separating families who entered the United States illegally.
Nick and Maria note "U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee, who oversees the agreement, has rejected attempts to extend the amount of time migrant children can be held in immigration jails beyond the limit of 20 days. The new rules would lift those restrictions and allow the government to detain migrant children until their cases have been fully adjudicated."
OOF: About 2 million low-income Americans would lose benefits under the House version of a farm bill that's in the midst of negotiations, according to nonpartisan research firm Mathematica.
The bill includes a proposal that would change the income and expense criteria for beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program better known for underwriting food stamps, the New York Times's Glenn Thrush reports, and would allow states to remove up to 8 percent of people getting aid from SNAP. The research also found 34 percent of seniors in the program could lose benefits under the proposal.

"Those estimates do not account for another proposal in the measure, which would impose strict new work requirements on beneficiaries," Glenn writes. "An additional 1.2 million people could be stripped of aid under that plan, according to a separate analysis released in May by the Congressional Budget Office, the study's authors said."

Trump tweeted Wednesday calling for lawmakers to pass the House version of the bill:

The Trump Economy is booming with help of House and Senate GOP. #FarmBill with SNAP work requirements will bolster farmers and get America back to work. Pass the Farm Bill with SNAP work requirements!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

"The focus on agricultural subsidies, Senate staff members said, makes it less likely that the House proposals will be part of a final deal," Glenn adds. "But advocates for the poor were concerned that some, if not all, of the cuts could make it into the final version."
OUCH: Experts are urging caution regarding a swirling hypothesis that rare microwave weapons could have sickened diplomatic officials and people associated with the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, our Post colleagues Sarah Kaplan and Joel Achenbach report.
The New York Times reported last week that microwaves were "now considered a main suspect" of the attacks that led to people suffering ailments, reporting painful sounds.
"There's an old scientific aphorism that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," Sarah and Joel write. But physicist and former State Department scientific adviser Peter Zimmerman told our colleagues the claims behind the latest theory are not "giving the extraordinary evidence. They're not giving any evidence."
"No microwave weapon that affects the brain is known to exist," Sarah and Joel write. "The FBI has investigated the Cuba cases and found no evidence of a plot. Searches of the U.S. Embassy and other locations in Havana have turned up no sign of a weapon. Most significantly, doctors examining the sickened diplomats have established no clear link between their symptoms and any external source."
AGENCY ALERT - The same day the administration made an announcement that it plans detain minors for longer than the Flores settlement allows, Modern Healthcare's Susannah Luthi reports HHS is set to increase funds to care for detained migrant children.
Susannah writes HHS will hike the $1.3 billion that was initially set aside for the care of migrant children by more than $100 million, "a sign that the system's expenses are increasing under enhanced scrutiny following the Trump administration's halted family separation policy."

She adds the department did not confirm the amount but a "congressional aide close to the issue said the department is maxing out the 10% boost allowed to the original appropriation amount."

- You might be able to take these names off of your suspect list. The offices of HHS Secretary Alex Azar and Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie have both denied that the administration officials authored the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times in which a top administration official claimed to be part of the so-called resistance to the Trump White House.

Azar spokeswoman Caitlin Oakley said in a statement, per the Associated Press: "It was not him." Curt Cashour, spokesman for Wilkie said in a statement to CNN that "neither Secretary Wilkie nor anyone else at VA wrote the op-ed."
If you're curious about the other two dozen or so administration officials who have publicly denied writing the op-ed, our Post colleagues Katie Mettler and Nick Kirkpatrick have compiled a list and are updating it here. HEALTH ON THE HILL -Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh's third day of hearings on the Hill began with drama over released emails once marked "committee confidential."
In one email Kavanaugh wrote in 2003, he argued against describing the 1973 Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade as the "settled law of the land."
"I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land at the Supreme Court level since Court can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so," Kavanaugh wrote when he was a White House lawyer in the Bush administration regarding a draft of an op-ed in favor of a judicial nominee.
The email, made public by the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday after it was first given to the New York Times, was among documents deemed "committee confidential," our Post colleagues Robert Barnes and Michael Kranish report.

They explain the email was written in reference to a proposed op-ed in support of Priscilla Owen, who was nominated by President George W. Bush for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. "The draft of the op-ed was designed to undercut Democratic complaints that Owen would overturn Roe," Robert and Michael write. "The draft said that 'it is widely understood accepted by legal scholars across the board that Roe v. Wade and its progeny are the settled law of the land.' Kavanaugh seemed to dismiss the importance of that argument, and said the more important point was that Owen would have no ability to overturn Roe as an appeals court judge."
Yesterday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) asked Kavanaugh to explain the email, which she said has "been viewed as you saying you don't think Roe is settled." Kavanaugh said he was referring to "views of legal scholars" rather than his own personal view.
In a statement yesterday, NARAL Pro-Choice America said the emails "are rock solid evidence that he has been hiding his true beliefs and if he is given a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, he will gut Roe v. Wade, criminalize abortion, and punish women. Everything he said yesterday in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about 'settled law' was nothing but a show to mislead the Senate."
- During one exchange with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), Kavanaugh appeared to refer to birth control as "abortion-inducing drugs."
Cruz asked Kavanaugh to talk about his 2015 dissent in the Priests for Life v. HHS case. The nominee described the case in which the Catholic group sued HHS over the requirement under Obamacare that health-care providers cover birth control.

During his explanation, Kavanaugh said the group had a religious objection to "abortion-inducing drugs."

NARAL tweeted following the remark:

From Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.):

This is a red-alarm moment. In his confirmation hearings, #Kavanaugh just called birth control "abortion-inducing drugs." If you didn't believe it before, believe it now - a woman's constitutional right to abortion AND birth control are both 100% at stake. https://t.co/heXqS2mz83
- Senator Jeff Merkley (@SenJeffMerkley) September 6, 2018
In her six takeaways from Kavanaugh's Day 3 on the Hill, our Post colleague Amber Phillips writes he "didn't convince any Democrats on his abortion stance."
"For anyone who worries that Kavanaugh would vote to overturn legalized abortion, there's plenty in his past writings and statements and court rulings to be concerned about," Amber writes. "We know what key Democrats have come to conclude. What will two swing-vote Senate Republicans read into this?"
STATE SCAN - Millions of people covered under Obamacare insurance plans will see small premium increases and others will see price reductions in 2019, according to an analysis from the Associated Press and consulting firm Avalere Health.
"The analysis found a 3.6 percent average increase in proposed or approved premiums across 47 states and Washington, D.C., for next year," the AP reports. "This year the average increase nationally was about 30 percent. The average total premium for an individual covered under the health law is now close to $600 a month before subsidies."

Although Avalere director Chris Sloan warns it is "still a market that's unaffordable for many people who aren't eligible for subsidies," the AP reports some premiums are set to decrease or increase by less than 10 percent for 41 states with about 9 million customers. "Eleven of those states are expected to see a drop in average premiums. In six other states, plus Washington, D.C., premiums are projected to rise between 10 percent and 18 percent," per the report.

The data also found a resurgence of insurers. In 19 states, there will be either new insurers in the marketplace or an expansion of current insurers. "There are no bare counties lacking a willing insurer," per the AP.
- A group that formed in response to the administration's family separation policy is calling on Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to establish an independent investigation into reports that some migrant children were abused at shelters.
Uncage and Reunite Families, a group that includes elected officials, activists and religious leaders, is criticizing a previous investigation by the state that "only found issues with personnel records and delayed background checks," the Associated Press reports.

"Arizona has seen numerous allegations of sexual abuse at its many shelters for immigrant children, including one made by the government of El Salvador, which said it received reports of three children, 12 to 17, who were sexually abused at unnamed shelters in Arizona," per the AP.

A Washington state couple is alleging that a neighbor shot and killed the dog they got to help cope with anxiety they suffered after surviving a mass shooting in Las Vegas last year, a report said.

The Bellingham Herald reported that Lona and Joseph Johnson were present at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in October when a gunman opened fire from his hotel room and killed 58 people and injured hundreds of others.

The couple's dog, Jax, a Labrodoodle, was shot on Sunday. Their neighbor allegedly told police that he found the dog chasing his chickens, the report said. The report said that investigators said no chickens appeared to be harmed.

The comfort dog was for themselves and their two children, who weren't at the concert but saw the news coverage and knew their parents had been shot at.

"He was such a blessing," Joseph Johnson said of Jax. ""He gave us something to look forward to. I really believe Jax was a big part of our healing."

The family is considering a lawsuit against the neighbor, who was reportedly cited for recklessly discharging a firearm.

"We're pretty upset and hurt right now," Lona Johnson said. "It triggered a lot of PTSD for our family. We're still trying to deal with what happened in Las Vegas, and then this happened. Everybody who knows us knows how important Jax was to us."

Active shooter at Cincinnati identified as Omar Perez, a Ohio resident. He entered a few buildings before entering the bank and shooting five people, with three people dead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Authorities have identified the gunman who allegedly killed three people and wounded two others at a bank in downtown Cincinnati as a 29-year-old Ohio resident.

Omar Perez, 29, acted alone when he opened fire at the headquarters for the Fifth Third Bank near the Fountain Square, Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said in a press conference Thursday afternoon.

Officers responded to a 911 call around 9:10 a.m. local time about an "active shooter" at the bank, Isaac said.

Perez. of Northbend, Ohio, is not a former or current employee of the bank, Isaac said. It is unclear how he got to Fountain Square, but he entered multiple businesses before going to the bank, according to the police chief.

The suspect had opened fire in the building's loading dock before continuing into the lobby area and firing more shots, Isaac told reporters at a press conference Thursday morning.

Multiple officers then "engaged" the suspect, who is now dead, Isaac said. He was shot multiple times, according to Isaac.

Investigators believe that Perez legally purchased the 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was recovered on the scene, Isaac said. Perez had multiple magazines and around 200 rounds of ammunition, Isaac said.

Five people were shot, including three who died from their injuries, Isaac said. One person died at the scene, and two victims died at the hospital, police said.

Some of the victims were shot multiple times, Isaac said.

One victim was identified as 64-year-old Richard Newcomer, a superintendent with the Gilbane Building Company, a construction company based in Cincinnati.

"He was a great employee," Wes Cotter, the director of communications for the Gilbane Building Company told ABC News. "We are absolutely grief stricken."

Newcomer was doing work on the third floor of the building and "just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," Cotter said.

"We couldn't feel worse about it," Cotter said.

The other two victims were identified by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office as Pruthvi Raj Kandepi, 25, and Luis Felipe Calderón, 48.

The area was cordoned off as police responded to the incident and worked to evacuate people inside the bank.

No officers were injured in the incident, and a weapon was recovered from the scene.

UC Health in Cincinnati confirmed via Twitter that it received four of the victims -- three males and one female. Two have since died, while one remains in critical condition and the other is in serious condition, the hospital said.

"Our physicians and staff are focused on caring for the patients and their families. We prepare for situations like these and hope they never happen," UC Health tweeted.

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley told reporters at the press conference that the suspect was "actively shooting innocent victims."

"Random mass shootings, which plague our nation, are not normal and we as a country can't allow them to be normalized," Craley said in a statement posted on Twitter later Thursday. "Our hearts are broken today."

The motive for the shooting was not immediately known.

Fifth Third Bank, which is headquartered in Cincinnati but has locations across 10 states, described the deadly shooting as a "terrible event" in a statement posted on Twitter.

"Earlier today, an active shooter entered our headquarters building in downtown Cincinnati. The situation is contained and the shooter is no longer a threat. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone caught up in this terrible event. We continue to work with law enforcement as we ensure the safety of our employees and customers. We are grateful for the support and concerns from our neighbors throughout Cincinnati and the country," the company tweeted.

A man in Utah was making threats towards the president and said, " I think I am going to kill him". 6 guns were found in his car.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Utah man said he planned to "kill the president" after police pulled over his vehicle last month and found six guns and ammunition inside, according to a complaint unsealed this week.

Police in Price stopped the vehicle driven by William Scott Wheeler, 56, on Aug. 25 because the headlights were obscured with a blanket, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Price is about 120 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

The officer allegedly found a shotgun, two pistols, a revolver, two long guns and ammunition in the back of the truck, according to the complaint.

When prodded about why he needed the weapons, Wheeler was reportedly silent, the Tribune reported. Later, Wheeler reportedly told the officer he suspected the Secret Service was after him because he had supposedly sent "messages" to the White House.

"They need to fix the problem, or I'm going to fix the problem," Wheeler allegedly told the officer, according to an affidavit written by U.S. Secret Service Agent Marina Thomas that was obtained by Salt Lake City's FOX 13.

When the officer determined Wheeler had been drinking and was in no condition to drive, Wheeler allegedly told the officer, "I think I'm going to kill the president," according to court documents.

He was charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition by a restricted person on account of having bought the firearms outside Utah and bringing them into the state, the Tribune reported.

Wheeler appeared in U.S. District Court on Wednesday and was ordered detained, FOX 13 reported.

According to records, cited by the Tribune, Wheeler was being held at the Tooele County Jail. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted. Wheeler has two prior felony convictions: one for vehicle theft in 1984, and another for theft in 1989, the Tribune reported.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The deaths of two female students from Thailand, whose bodies were found in an apartment on Tuesday, has been ruled a murder-suicide, The Seattle Times reported Thursday.

Kornkamol Leenavarat, 25, and her friend Thiti-orn Chotchuangsap, 32, were found dead in an apartment in Seattle's University District on Tuesday after police responded to a call from a building manager around 9:30 a.m.

The building managers had conducted a welfare check and "found a seriously injured woman inside," a police statement said.

When police arrived, both of the women were dead.

The younger woman died from multiple stab wounds and her death was ruled a homicide, the King County Medical Examiner's Office in Seattle said Thursday. Bangkok media reported that she had flown to the U.S. recently to attend the University of Washington.

The medical examiner said the older woman died of a stab wound to the chest and that her death was ruled a suicide. Both women died on Saturday.

Seattle Police said there are no outstanding suspects in the investigation.

The younger woman is reportedly a member of a political family in Thanyaburi, a district located about 35 miles northeast of Bangkok.

Both women were studying for a master's degree in law, according to a statement from University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce.

"This is a heartbreaking loss for their families, friends and our entire community. I offer condolences on behalf of our University to everyone who is grieving as a result of this tragedy," she said.

Hollywood is reacting to the news of Burt Reynolds' death.

Stars took to social media to remember the screen legend, who was best known for his roles in "Smokey and the Bandit," "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights," as well as the TV series "Gunsmoke" and "Evening Shade."

The acclaimed actor, whose work spanned almost six decades in TV and film, died earlier today at the age of 82, his agent confirmed to ABC News.

On social media, many recalled Reynolds' charm and swagger both on and off screen and cited "Smokey and the Bandit" as one of their favorite films. Not long after news of his death broke, "Burt Reynolds," "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Boogie Nights" were trending topics on Twitter.

Below are some of the reactions to Reynold's death on social media.

Burt Reynolds was one of my heroes. He was a trailblazer. He showed the way to transition from being an athlete to being the highest paid actor, and he always inspired me. He also had a great sense of humor - check out his Tonight Show clips. My thoughts are with his family.

I'm at a loss for words. Burt Reynolds was a childhood hero of mine and will be forever. His iconic roles in Cannonball Run, Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit and Stroker Ace helped make me the man I am today. The Bandit will live on forever, rest in peace Burt pic.twitter.com/Om1eUv1N7S

Authorities have identified the gunman who allegedly killed three people and wounded two others at a bank in downtown Cincinnati as a 29-year-old Ohio resident.

Omar Perez, 29, acted alone when he opened fire at the headquarters for the Fifth Third Bank near the Fountain Square, Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said in a press conference Thursday afternoon.

Officers responded to a 911 call around 9:10 a.m. local time about an "active shooter" at the bank, Isaac said.

Perez. of Northbend, Ohio, is not a former or current employee of the bank, Isaac said. It is unclear how he got to Fountain Square, but he entered multiple businesses before going to the bank, according to the police chief.

The suspect had opened fire in the building's loading dock before continuing into the lobby area and firing more shots, Isaac told reporters at a press conference Thursday morning.

Multiple officers then "engaged" the suspect, who is now dead, Isaac said. He was shot multiple times, according to Isaac.

Investigators believe that Perez legally purchased the 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was recovered on the scene, Isaac said. Perez had multiple magazines and around 200 rounds of ammunition, Isaac said.

Five people were shot, including three who died from their injuries, Isaac said. One person died at the scene, and two victims died at the hospital, police said.

Some of the victims were shot multiple times, Isaac said.

One victim was identified as 64-year-old Richard Newcomer, a superintendent with the Gilbane Building Company, a construction company based in Cincinnati.

"He was a great employee," Wes Cotter, the director of communications for the Gilbane Building Company told ABC News. "We are absolutely grief stricken."

Newcomer was doing work on the third floor of the building and "just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," Cotter said.

"We couldn't feel worse about it," Cotter said.

The other two victims were identified by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office as Pruthvi Raj Kandepi, 25, and Luis Felipe Calderón, 48.

The area was cordoned off as police responded to the incident and worked to evacuate people inside the bank.

No officers were injured in the incident, and a weapon was recovered from the scene.

UC Health in Cincinnati confirmed via Twitter that it received four of the victims -- three males and one female. Two have since died, while one remains in critical condition and the other is in serious condition, the hospital said.

"Our physicians and staff are focused on caring for the patients and their families. We prepare for situations like these and hope they never happen," UC Health tweeted.

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley told reporters at the press conference that the suspect was "actively shooting innocent victims."

"Random mass shootings, which plague our nation, are not normal and we as a country can't allow them to be normalized," Craley said in a statement posted on Twitter later Thursday. "Our hearts are broken today."

The motive for the shooting was not immediately known.

Fifth Third Bank, which is headquartered in Cincinnati but has locations across 10 states, described the deadly shooting as a "terrible event" in a statement posted on Twitter.

"Earlier today, an active shooter entered our headquarters building in downtown Cincinnati. The situation is contained and the shooter is no longer a threat. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone caught up in this terrible event. We continue to work with law enforcement as we ensure the safety of our employees and customers. We are grateful for the support and concerns from our neighbors throughout Cincinnati and the country," the company tweeted.

The US economy added 201,000 jobs in August, which is  roughly in line with the average for the year. The unemployment rate stayed at a historically low 3.9%

America is running out of unemployed people.

The job market is so hot that it might have to cool off, simply because there aren't enough people to fill open positions. There are some signs that the cool-down is already underway.

The payroll processing company ADP reported that private employers added 163,000 net new jobs in August, its lowest reading in ten months. (That's not a perfect approximation of the Labor Department's monthly Employment Situation report, which comes out Friday morning, but it's close.)

The number of job openings reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics has exceeded the number of out-of-work people since March, and the number of initial jobless claims fell last week to a low not seen since 1969.

Even one of the broadest measures of unemployment is at a 17-year low. The rate of unemployed workers, discouraged workers, and people working part time who'd rather work full time hasn't been as low since 2001.

Goldman Sachs expects that the US economy added 175,000 jobs in August, with the unemployment rate ticking down to 3.8%. The economy added just 157,000 jobs in July after averaging 221,000 jobs over the past six months.

Over the next year, economists surveyed by Bankrate.com expect an average of 162,690 jobs per month, with unemployment staying below 4%.

Small businesses in particular have had a hard time attracting workers, according to data collected by the payroll processor Paychex; hourly wages paid by small businesses have been declining even as weekly hours have increased.

But a slowing job market isn't only a case of "what goes up must come down." Some of the cooling may be self-inflicted: Concerns over new tariffs announced in recent months may have delayed hiring, the Goldman analysts wrote.

August is also a typically sleepy month for job growth, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics may not have been able to fully account for seasonal factors.
