A deleted document that investigators recovered from a laptop may be the key to establishing intent in the case against Rex Heuermann, who has been charged with the murders of six women over several decades, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney told ABC News on Friday. Prosecutors allege it was used by Heuermann to "methodically blueprint and plan out his kills with excruciating detail." "I think it, first and foremost, evinces a certain intent, and that intent is to hunt and capture and kill females," Tierney told ABC News in an interview, some of which aired on "Good Morning America."

Deadly Gaza strike raises US concerns about civilians, despite precision munitions
An Israeli attack on a UN school complex in central Gaza is raising alarm among U.S. officials after scores of civilians were reportedly killed, despite the apparent use of American-made precision munitions. The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health said Thursday's airstrike on the school, which has become a makeshift shelter for thousands of displaced people inside the enclave, left at least 40 people dead, including more than a dozen children. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said U.S. officials were in direct contact with the Israeli government about the strike, and its claim its forces were targeting "20 to 30 members of Hamas and other militant groups" and used a "precision strike to target only one part of the building without hitting areas where civilians were sheltering."

FDA reverses order taking Juul vaping products off the market in US, opens door to possible authorization
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration rescinded its marketing ban on Juul Labs on Thursday, opening the door to possible authorization of its products. The reversal comes nearly two years after the federal health agency ordered the company's e-cigarettes and vaping products be taken off the market. The FDA had initially blocked Juul's application to sell its vaping device and tobacco- and menthol-flavored pods in June 2022, after completing a nearly two-year review of the manufacturer's application, finding that the applications "lacked sufficient evidence regarding the toxicological profile of the products to demonstrate that the marketing of the products met the public health standard required by law."
