The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Andrew Dawson of Indiana, drove from his home state to Washington D.C. on Saturday, according to a tip from local police who called him a "suicidal individual." Secret Service found Dawson near his parked vehicle, and an "armed confrontation" took place after he "brandished a firearm," according to a Secret Service statement. Dawson, who was also armed with a knife, was rushed to the hospital, and his condition is currently unknown. | Syria Battles Leave 1,000 Dead More than 1,000 people have been killed in Syria in the past few days in clashes between the newly installed government forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. The violence began Thursday near Jableh, a longtime stronghold of Assad's Alawite community, when loyalists ambushed government forces, triggering retaliatory attacks on Alawite neighborhoods. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the killings, urging the interim Syrian government to protect civilians and hold the "radical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadis" accountable for the massacres. | States Push for Permanent Daylight Saving At least 20 U.S. states have passed legislation to permanently adopt Daylight Saving Time (DST), but federal law prevents them from making the switch without congressional approval. Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that stay on standard time year-round. This map shows the status of every state. Although "The Sunshine Protection Act" has been introduced multiple times in Congress since 2018 to allow permanent DST, it has yet to pass. Love reading The Flyover?
