AP News, I'm Jackie Quinn, the sheriff in Oakland County, Michigan, says someone should have said something about the 42-year-old suspect, who opened fire Saturday at a splash pad in Rochester Hills. What's believed to be a random shooting left nine people injured, including a mother and her two children. Someone is almost always in a position to know and see something, and it doesn't get shared in a complete circle that includes public safety and mental health professions. That's how we get in front of these things. Sheriff Mike Wuchard on WXYZTV says the gunman's family said he'd been growing more and more paranoid. He was talking about they are listening to us, they are watching us turn off your phone, things like that. California fire crews say they're making some headway on the post fire north of Los Angeles. Our Julie Walker reports. The post fires has burnt well over 15,000 acres and is 8% contained, says LA County Fire Department Section Chief Kenichi Haskett.

There are new global concerns surrounding a meeting tomorrow between the leaders of North Korea and Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit North Korea for a two day visit starting Tuesday. Both countries announced amid international concerns about their military cooperation. Putin is expected to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for talks as they deepen their alignment in the face of separate, intensifying confrontations with Washington. They're growing concerns about an arms arrangement in which Pyongyang provides Moscow with badly needed munitions to fuel Putin's war in Ukraine in exchange for economic assistance and technology transfers that would enhance the threat posed by Kim's nuclear weapons and missile program.
