Approximately 12 hours after the attack began Wednesday evening, Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said that about 700 students had been rescued from the university compound. The State Department announced Thursday no Americans were killed or wounded.

Details on the victims were not immediately available, but Hedayatullah Stanikzai, an official with the Ministry of Public Health, said a guard employed by the university was among the dead. Reuters reported that both gunmen involved in the assault were also killed.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack on the university, which was established in 2006 to offer liberal arts courses modeled on the U.S. system, and has more than 1,000 students currently enrolled.

Witnesses said the gunmen got into the university despite tight security measures, including armed guards and watchtowers.

I finished my class and was about to leave when I heard a few gunshots and a huge explosion, followed by more gunfire," student Ahmad Mukhtar told Reuters. "I ran toward the emergency exit with other students, climbed the wall and jumped outside."

Another student described jumping out of a second-floor window in an attempt to escape the attack.

"Many students jumped from the second floor, some broke their legs and some hurt their head trying to escape," said Abdullah Fahimi, a student who injured his ankle making the leap.

Dozens of students and foreign staffers who could not get away barricaded themselves inside classrooms and safe rooms.

Associated Press photographer Massoud Hossaini was in a classroom with 15 students when he heard an explosion on the southern flank of the campus.

"I went to the window to see what was going on, and I saw a person in normal clothes outside. He shot at me and shattered the glass," Hossaini said, adding that he fell on the glass and cut his hands.

The students then barricaded themselves inside the classroom, pushing chairs and desks against the door, and staying on the floor. Hossaini said at least two grenades were thrown into the classroom, wounding several of his classmates.

Hossaini and about nine students later managed to escape from the campus through an emergency gate.

"As we were running I saw someone lying on the ground face down, they looked like they had been shot in the back," he said.

Hossaini and the other students took refuge in a residential house near the campus, and were later safely evacuated by Afghan security forces.

Dejan Panic, the program director at Kabul's Emergency Hospital, said 18 people wounded in the attack, including five women, had been admitted. He said three were "seriously" wounded, probably from automatic gunfire.

A car bomb had exploded outside a school for the blind next door before at least one attacker fired at the university campus from that school building, a police officer at the scene told The New York Times.

The U.S. Embassy was working to account for all of its personnel, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told reporters. She said the State Department condemned the attack.

The U.S. military was assisting Afghan forces who responded to the attack, U.S. Army Colonel Michael T. Lawhorn told Fox News. "These advisors are not taking a combat role, but advising their Afghan counterparts."

The attack was the second time in less than three weeks that the American University has been targeted by militants.

Two of its professors were kidnapped at gunpoint in Kabul on August 7. The professors were identified as Kevin King, an American, and Timothy Weeks from Australia. Men in military uniforms reportedly abducted them as they traveled between the campus and their home in Kabul. The professors' whereabouts are unclear.

6.2 earthquake strikes down at Italy at least 52 people dead

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Francesca Maffini, a spokeswoman for Italy's civil protection agency, said that residents in Amatrice were "distraught" and that schools were being used as makeshift shelters for the many who were displaced.

"We flew to Amatrice from Rome in a helicopter, so I saw it from the air," she told NBC News. "There are a lot of historical buildings that are destroyed. It's really bad."

Residents, rescuers and even priests used shovels and their hands to dig out survivors in the devastated town. A firefighter said as many as 70 people were buried in the ruins.

The town's hospital was badly damaged, and patients were moved into the streets.

Maffini added that at least 10 people were killed in the town of Arquata.

The mayor of Accumoli said at least seven people had died there, and rescue crews were frantically searching for four others after three people were found alive under the debris.

"We came out to the piazza, and it looked like 'Dante's Inferno,'" Agostino Severo, a Rome resident visiting the damaged town of Illica, told the AP. "People crying for help, help."

Authorities said the quake was similar in scale to the devastating 2009 temblor in nearby L'Aquila, which killed more than 300 people. They urged Italians to give blood and donate blankets, medicine and water.

Roads were blocked in several areas of the mountainous hamlets, severely hampering efforts to assess the damage and deploy rescue operations. A key road bridge over the Castellano River leading to Amatrice was declared unsafe.

"We need chain saws, shears to cut iron bars and jacks to remove beams: everything, we need everything," Andrea Gentili, a civil protection worker, told the AP.

Infrastructure Minister Graziano Del Rio and Fabrizio Curcio, the head of Italy's Civil Protection Department, were on their way to reach the affected areas, the government said.

Curcio said at a news conference that the region is popular with visitors escaping the August heat of Rome, with more people than at other times of the year.

Facebook activated its safety check-in service for the affected area Wednesday morning, and the U.S. State Department urged all American citizens in the region to check in with friends and family to let them know they were safe.

Italy sits on two fault lines, making it one of the most seismically active countries in Europe.

Wednesday's quake occurred along a fault in the central Apennine Mountains, which span Italy from the Gulf of Taranto in the south to the southern edge of the Po River basin in the north, the USGS said.

Patrick Defelice, 55, of New York, who was visiting on vacation, told NBC News he and his wife were awakened at 3:30 a.m. "out of dead sleep" in Assisi, near Perugia.

"The building was shaking pretty good," Defelice said.

Hurricanes are starting to form in the Atlantic.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
First was Tropical Storm Fiona, which moved harmlessly through the central Atlantic and dissipated earlier this week.

Then on Monday the seventh tropical depression of the season formed off the west coast of Africa. This system quickly became a tropical storm and then a hurricane, receiving the name Gaston. It's the third hurricane of the Atlantic season, and while Gaston is expected to be a hurricane for several days, it, too, will move harmlessly through the open waters of the Atlantic as it curves out to sea well east of Bermuda.

While neither of these storms proved noteworthy for the United States, there is a strong tropical wave entering the Eastern Caribbean that people should take note of. The National Hurricane Center is giving the system a high chance (80%) of developing into a tropical storm by late this week as it moves through the central and eastern Bahamas.

Uncertainty with this storm is very high and computer models are providing a wide range of potential solutions. Some of our most reliable models show a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico early next week. Other models show a storm hitting the Southeastern United States. And some models never develop anything from this tropical wave.

Regardless of development, the storm will bring gusty winds and heavy tropical downpours to areas of the Caribbean from Puerto Rico and Hispaniola to the Bahamas. That heavy rain will get to Florida as early as Sunday.

At this point it's far too early to forecast the specifics, but it is something that should certainly be monitored closely by anyone with interests in the Gulf of Mexico or along the Southeast coast of the United States.

A deadly attack on the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul has ended, according to a government spokesperson.

Add Afghanistan as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Afghanistan news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

General Abdul Rahman Rahimi, Kabul's police chief, said early Thursday that 12 people were killed. Of the 12 killed, he said 7 were students, 3 were police officers and 2 were American University of Afghanistan guards.

Rahimi said 35 students and 9 police officers were injured.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack. Although suspicion falls on the Taliban, the group's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, would only tell the media that the group is "investigating," according to The AP.

Three attackers were involved in the attack, Rahimi said. The first attacker detonated a suicide car bomb at the entrance the other two managed to enter the campus, he said.

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said the attackers were armed with grenades and automatic weapons. The siege of the university lasted almost nine hours, before police killed the two assailants around 3.30 am, he said.

"Most of the dead were killed by gun shots near the windows of their classrooms," Sediqqi said.

More than 150 students who had been trapped in university buildings were rescued by special police units, according to The AP.

The U.S. State Department acknowledged reports Wednesday morning of the attack on an official Twitter account, posting, "Reports of attack on American University in Kabul. Exercise caution, avoid unnecessary movement in the area & monitor news for updates."

State Department Director of Office of Press Relations Elizabeth Trudeau later read a statement saying that they "condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms."

"An attack on a university is an attack on the future of Afghanistan. Our embassy in Kabul, as well as our NATO counterparts of the Resolute Support Mission, are closely monitoring the situation as we are. We understand this situation is ongoing.

"We do understand there are small numbers of Resolute Support advisers who are assisting their Afghan counterparts as Afghan forces are responding as this situation develops. These advisers are not taking a combat role but advising Afghan counterparts," she said.

"We are in the process of accounting for all chief of mission personnel and working to locate and assist any U.S. citizens affected by these attacks. The U.S. embassy in Kabul did issue a security message warning U.S. citizens of the attack and advising them to avoid the area until further notice. Our travel warning for Afghanistan warns U.S. citizens against travel to Afghanistan because of the continued instability and threats by terror attacks against U.S. citizens," she said.

Massoud Hossaini, a photographer for The Associated Press, tweeted that he was trapped inside during the attack.

"Help we are stuck inside AUAF and shooting flollowed [sic] by Explo this maybe my last tweets," he wrote.

The AP later reported that he was safe and had escaped from the school.

The attackers managed to enter Noor Hospital, adjacent to the school, according to eyewitnesses.

The American University of Afghanistan opened in 2006 and was a pet project of former first lady Laura Bush, who helped launch the institution on a 2005 visit to Kabul, the capital.

Much of its funding has come from the U.S. Agency for International Development, which administers civilian foreign aid, and today the school has more than 1,700 full- and part-time students. It has produced 29 Fulbright scholars and maintains partnerships with many U.S. colleges, such as Stanford, Georgetown and the University of California system.

The school says on its website that it "embraces diversity and community" in Afghanistan.

But it has been no stranger to threats of violence since its creation.

Two professors at the university - one American and one Australian - were abducted at gunpoint outside the campus earlier this month, underscoring the deteriorating security situation in the capital and across the rest of the country.

Also, two people employed by the university were killed in 2014 when a suicide bomber set off an explosion in a Kabul restaurant that was popular with expats.

For years the Patriots had used the phrase " Do your job. " and eventually trademarked it.  The Dallas Cowboys are taking it from the Patriots and they get called out by it by Rob Gronkowski.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For years, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have promoted the phrase "Do your job." It was a catchphrase during their Super Bowl run two years ago, and was even the title of their documentary chronicling the championship.

Last year, the Patriots trademarked the slogan, which was completely unnecessary, seeing as those three words are used on a daily basis (yeah, I'm talking about your supervisor at work). But it looks like the Dallas Cowboys are trying to swipe it from the Patriots.

Rob Gronkowski called them out for it and dubbed the thievery "#DoYourJobGate."

Hmm, the Cowboys' new slogan sounds familiar .... What are your thoughts??? #DoYourJobGate
https://t.co/C10NZtsJKb pic.twitter.com/HnvWyoOEyz

- Rob Gronkowski (@RobGronkowski) August 24, 2016

The Patriots have three trademarks on the phrase, though they probably won't file any sort of suit against the Cowboys. Still, it's a shady move by Dallas.

Perhaps Jason Garrett is just trying to steal some of the magic Belichick has created in New England. It's actually not a bad idea.

The Detroit police are hunting down a man that fired a AK-47 at the cops. It happened from a dice game gone wrong. A police patrol car was hit but no officers were hurt.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Detroit police are combing the streets of a west-side neighborhood looking for a man who shot at officers Wednesday morning, MyFoxDetroit.com reported.

Investigators are saying the shooting stemmed from a dice game gone wrong.

Police were called to that dice game for a report of shots fired at Kendall Street and Whitcomb Avenue, which is near Greenfield Road and Grand River Avenue.

When they got to the scene, they spotted a man with an AK-47, who fired shots at police officers.

The officers' patrol car was hit and damaged, but the officers were not injured. The man with the gun took off.

Police have since identified the suspect as Deangelo Davis, and say he is considered armed and dangerous. Police say he is a convicted murderer on a case out of Minnesota, for which he is currently on parole.

"Anytime someone fires shots at a police officer, we take it very seriously. We take all shootings seriously, but when someone actually shoots at police and you know police are armed - you know there's something's wrong with that person," says Detroit Police Capt. Darrell Patterson. "Hopefully we can get this person off the streets as soon as possible."
