California Gov. Gavin Newsom says there's no imminent threat to the state from Iran. ABC News says the FBI warned California that Iran had aspired to send drones to the West Coast in retaliation for war. The FBI later released text of the alert, which noted that the information was based on "unverified information." The White House now says, "No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists." Newsom says California and various agencies plan for worst-case scenarios. Police in Los Angeles and San Francisco say they are monitoring world events for any risks.

Authorities say a gunman wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design and the words "Property of Allah" killed two people and wounded 14 at a Texas bar. The FBI said the shooting in Austin is being investigated as a potential act of terrorism. Police shot and killed the man, who had used both a pistol and a rifle early in the shooting early Sunday, a day after the U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran. The Department of Homeland Security identified the gunman as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne. Multiple people briefed on the investigation say Diagne is originally from Senegal. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson says a fast police response in confronting the gunman saved lives.
Police have searched the former home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a day after the former prince was held in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office. In another blow for the former Prince Andrew, the British government is considering formally removing him from the line of succession to the crown. His arrest is linked to his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and marked one of the most tumultuous days in the modern history of Britain's royal family. The former Prince Andrew is back at his new home on the Sandringham estate, King Charles III's private retreat. Police have concluded their search there but are still searching Royal Lodge, his 30-room former home near Windsor Castle.
