This is AP News, I'm Rita Falle. There's word this morning of an attempt to attack the U.S. Embassy near Beirut, Lebanon. We're hearing one shooter was killed, one escaped, and a third was wounded and detained by the Lebanese military. The AP is done a water. The military describes the gunman as a Syrian national and that soldiers shot and wounded the attacker. Local media is reporting that there was a gunfight for almost a half an hour by the U.S. diplomatic mission just north of Beirut. The U.S. Embassy says the attack Wednesday morning by the building's entrance did not cause any casualties among its staff, and that Lebanese troops and embassy security mobilized quickly.

Federal prosecutors painted President Joe Biden's son Hunter as deceptive and driven by addiction, who knew what he was doing when he lied on federal forms in 2018 to purchase a gun. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden's attorney argued that his client did not believe he was in the throes of addiction when he stated in the paperwork that he did not have a drug problem, and he did nothing with the gun in the short time he had it. Hunter Biden has been charged with three felonies stemming from the purchase of a cold revolver when he was, according to his memoir, addicted to crack. Haya Pangewani, Washington. President Biden arrived in France this morning, where this week he'll mark the 80th anniversary of the World War II D-Day invasion. This comes as the deadliest fighting on the continent since World War II continues in Ukraine. Allies are struggling to find ways to help turn the tide against Russia, which has been gaining ground on the battlefield.

Waitlea here when a guy pulled out of a lake in New York City. Casting a magnet into New York City's waterways has paid off for James Kane. On their YouTube channel, let's get magnetic, Kane and girlfriend, Barbie Agastini, posted the haul of a lifetime. Cancer logged bundle after another in a lake. It's all hundreds. Oh my God. Totaling an estimated $100,000, Kane and Agastini called the police, who let them keep the safe, which had no clues about its rightful owner. I guess you'd call it a find those keepers thing. One problem with the bills. They were pretty destroyed. I plan on taking it to Washington, to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. That's the only way to get it restored. If not, it is literally garbage. Sagar Megani, Washington. And I'm Rita Foley, AP News.
