Atlanta police said officers responded around 4 p.m. to the 600 block of Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard NW, where they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. 

Both were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital by ambulance. 

While officers were at the scene, they learned two additional victims had driven themselves to Emory University Hospital after the shooting. Police said one of those victims was later transferred to Grady for surgery. 

All four were alive as of Wednesday evening. Police said one victim suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and underwent surgery but was in stable condition. 

Homicide Unit Lt. Christapher Butler said investigators believe the shooting followed a disagreement that occurred earlier in the day.

Police said investigators are still collecting evidence and reviewing video to determine how many shooters may have been involved. Butler said it appears there was an exchange of gunfire, but detectives have not confirmed the number of shooters.

Authorities are also working to verify suspect information and said a BOLO, or "be on the lookout" alert, will be issued later if appropriate. 

Investigators are also trying to determine what vehicles may have been involved.  

Bertha is crawling westward "with little acceleration," the National Hurricane Center said. Forecasters said the storm would move over the New Orleans area overnight Wednesday and continue on toward Houston before dissipating by the end of the week.

Beaches were closed from Florida to Mississippi as Bertha's tropical-storm-force winds reached more than 100 miles outward from its center.

Map shows projected path

Bertha, the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, is forecast to stick close to the coast. The Miami-based hurricane center said it expects the system to continue gradually weakening as it moves along the northern Gulf Coast over the next couple of days.

As of the center's latest update Wednesday night, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, which have decreased gradually since Tuesday night.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry urged residents not to be complacent about the potential flooding threat.

"It doesn't take a major hurricane to do major damage to communities in Louisiana," Landry said at a news conference Wednesday.

Louisiana state climatologist Jay Grymes said he expected some pockets of flooding, but added, "With luck, this will be an in-and-out kind of situation."

Robbie Berg, a warning coordination meteorologist at the hurricane center, told The Associated Press that the storm's landfall itself shouldn't be too much of a concern.

"Landfall really doesn't have a whole lot of meaning in this particular case," Berg said.

Candice Henderson, who manages a beachside restaurant called the Crab Trap in Pensacola, told The AP that, for local residents, "this is just another storm." But officials in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi still opened sites where people could acquire sandbags, while some beaches were closed to swimmers.

Warnings and watches in effect

Tropical storm watches were expanded Wednesday to include coastal parts of southwestern Louisiana and northeastern Texas as the storm traveled in their direction. Tropical storm warnings were in effect from the Alabama-Florida state line to Cameron, Louisiana, as well as the area of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain.

A tropical storm watch was also posted for the area west of Cameron to Sargent, Texas, and for Lake Maurepas in Louisiana.

"Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area in Louisiana by tonight and along the upper Texas coast by Thursday or Thursday night," the hurricane center said Wednesday.

The storm was expected to produce 1 to 4 inches of rain, with isolated totals of 6 inches in some areas through Thursday. "This rainfall may produce isolated flash flooding, especially in urban areas," the hurricane center warned.

The system could also produce storm surge, raising waters up to 3 feet in some locations along the coast.

Bertha comes weeks after the 2026 hurricane season's first named storm, Tropical Storm Arthur, which made landfall in June along the Gulf Coast of Texas.

The Georgia Democrat's framework comes in response to the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, which Warnock argues has opened the door for lawmakers in several Southern states to redraw congressional maps in ways that weaken the political influence of Black communities. 

"Across the Deep South, partisan actors have manipulated their maps to silence the voices of Black voters," Warnock said in a statement announcing the proposal. "Even this Supreme Court has made clear that intentional racial discrimination remains illegal. We owe it to voters to root out whether any illegal actions or discrimination occurred." 

Under the proposal, Warnock wants Congress to investigate state officials who approved new congressional maps after the Callais ruling to determine whether they violated federal law by intentionally discriminating based on race. 

Georgia is one of the few states that ultimately chose not to redistrict maps after Gov. Brian Kemp had called for a special session in June.

The voting rights agenda extends beyond redistricting. Warnock is also proposing:

• A nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering.
• Measures to reduce the influence of wealthy donors in federal elections.
• Statehood for the District of Columbia and support for self-determination in U.S. territories.
• A constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote. 

Warnock said protecting voting rights should become a top priority if Democrats regain unified control of Congress and the White House.

"No more excuses: As soon as Democrats hold a trifecta, protecting voting rights must be at the top of the agenda," he said. 

The senator also tied the health of American democracy to broader economic concerns, arguing that issues such as affordability and wealth inequality cannot be fully addressed without stronger protections for voting rights.

"Voting rights are preservative of all other rights," Warnock said. "So even as we talk about affordability, as we talk about growing wealth inequality, billionaires getting tax cuts while everyday people can barely afford their lives, all of that brokenness reflects the brokenness of the democracy itself. We have to repair it, and we have to do so with urgency."

Warnock's proposal is expected to face long odds in the Republican-controlled Congress but positions voting rights as a central issue heading into future federal elections. 

The framework follows renewed national debate over congressional redistricting and the future of the Voting Rights Act after the Supreme Court's recent rulings.  

The case stems from three related lawsuits filed by former Black Henry County Schools employees who alleged race discrimination.

In a June 10 opinion, the Court of Appeals said the trial court's order contained multiple legal errors, including what it described as "hallucinated" case law by generative AI.

Legal experts say so-called AI "hallucinations" remain one of the biggest risks of generative AI.

Large language models can produce text that appears authoritative but includes nonexistent cases, statutes or quotations unless users independently verify every citation.

"They call them hallucinations. Large language models are basically really good guessers. They guess the next word that someone wants. So when you're talking with Chat-GPT, it's kind of guessing what you want," said AI legal expert Cat Casey. 

"It's also kind of a people pleaser. So sometimes the answer it gives you is not quite accurate, right?" 

The appellate court ultimately reversed portions of the lower court's decision, vacated the ruling on the federal Title VII claims and sent the case back for reconsideration under the proper legal standards. 

The underlying lawsuits were brought by three former Henry County Schools employees who alleged employment discrimination and other claims. The school district appealed after a trial judge denied motions seeking dismissal of the lawsuits. 

But rather than focusing solely on the legal dispute, the Court of Appeals devoted part of its opinion to a growing problem facing courts nationwide: attorneys using generative AI without verifying the information it produces.

The judges wrote that the trial court's order — drafted by the plaintiffs' attorney before being signed by the judge — contained several mistakes, including reliance on at least one hallucinated case. The court called it "troubling" that such an order was submitted and "regrettable" that the trial court failed to identify the errors before issuing it. 

The panel also reminded attorneys and judges of their professional responsibilities when using artificial intelligence in legal work, noting that courts cannot rely on fabricated authorities regardless of how they were created. 

The decision is the latest in a string of Georgia cases involving AI-generated legal citations.

Earlier this year, the Georgia Supreme Court addressed another case involving fabricated legal citations generated through artificial intelligence, prompting additional scrutiny of how attorneys use AI-assisted drafting tools. 

The Court of Appeals also referenced that case in its Henry County opinion while encouraging trial courts to carefully review materials submitted for adoption. 

According to French legal researcher Damien Charlotin, more than 1,600 AI hallucination incidents- with over 22 in Georgia - have been documented worldwide across courts and arbitration proceedings.

CBS News Atlanta reached out to the Georgia Bar Association seeking comment on whether the Bar has established a formal disciplinary process for cases like the one in Henry County. 

We didn't receive a comment by the time of publication, but we will be sure to provide an update if one is given.

The uptick follows increased pressure from the White House on ICE to increase arrests, with agents being instructed to target 2,000 arrests per day, sources inside ICE previously told CBS News. June's arrest total averages out to 1,438 arrests per day, and data for the first 11 days of July averages to 1,593 arrests per day. A DHS spokesperson said ICE does not have arrest quotas.

ICE arrests have continued without the large-scale, highly publicized operations like those previously carried out in Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities. Monthly arrest totals declined after the Minnesota crackdown, Operation Metro Surge, wound down in February, but have since rebounded.

Even as ICE officers' fatal shootings of two men during vehicle stops in Texas and Maine this month brought a wave of fresh scrutiny on immigration enforcement tactics, administration officials have indicated that the deportation efforts will continue. 

"ICE isn't leaving the streets at all," border czar Tom Homan said on Fox News on Monday.

"Numbers were down for a few months because the department was shut down," he told reporters after the interview, referring to a congressional standoff earlier this year over Homeland Security funding.

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin indicated at his confirmation hearing that his goal was to shift to an enforcement strategy that would keep the agency out of daily news headlines. 

Speaking to reporters on Friday, he reiterated that goal and defended the agency's enforcement efforts, boasting that arrests are "hitting single-day records every single day." 

"I've turned down the temperature of the stove to try to get it correct without boiling over," he said. "When I say turn down the temperature, I turn down the temperature with you guys. We're turning up the heat on the streets. We're out there working harder than we ever have because we've empowered our law enforcement to do their job."

In the aftermath of the recent shootings, ICE agents were ordered to immediately pause on most vehicle stops. But President Trump quickly posted to Truth Social reversing the order, calling vehicle stops one of the agency's "most important and effective Crime Fighting tools." 

"The president made it clear this morning: He wants ICE out there doing their job, and that's what's gonna happen," Homan said in an interview with the Center for Immigration Studies on July 15, the same day as the president's post.

Likely driven by the spike in arrests, the average number of people held in ICE detention also increased in June for the first time this year, the ICE data shows. 

An average of about 59,400 people were held in June, up from 58,200 in May. Data from the first 11 days of July shows an average of more than 65,600 people in detention. 

The detention population had declined in the months following the end of Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota in February, dropping from a peak of about 72,000 in January.

Arrests of non-criminals continue

Both victims in the Texas and Maine shootings were not the original targets of ICE operations. Such arrests are referred to as "collateral" arrests by DHS, and those detained in collateral arrests often lack criminal charges or convictions. 

Since President Trump's deportation crackdown began, changes in the detained population have largely been driven by shifts in the number of people without criminal records being detained. 

Last year, as the detention population surged, those without criminal records were the fastest-growing group in ICE detention. As the detention population declined in the first five months of this year, the non-criminal population fell by 36%, compared with a decrease of 3% among those with criminal convictions and 7% among those with pending criminal charges, the ICE data shows.

Now that the detention population is ticking upward, the non-criminal population is again seeing the largest increase. 

While the increase from May to June was more modest, at 3% among the non-criminal population and 1% among those with criminal records, data from the first 11 days of July show the average non-criminal detained population increasing by 20% from June, from nearly 22,000 to just over 26,000. Those with criminal convictions and pending criminal charges each increased by 5% over the same timeframe.  

The July 11 data shows that 29% had criminal convictions and 31% had pending criminal charges. Homan emphasized the combined total in his Fox News interview.

"When it comes to immigration enforcement, the majority of people we are arresting, despite the lies being told by the left, are criminals," he said.

Forecasters say widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are expected, with isolated locations potentially receiving more than 5 inches. Urban areas and locations with poor drainage are expected to face the greatest risk of flash flooding, with the highest impacts forecast for communities north of Interstate 20. 

The watch includes the following counties:

Banks, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Floyd, Forsyth, Gilmer, Gordon, Hall, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, Polk, Rabun, Towns, Union, Walker, White and Whitfield. 

The National Weather Service warns excessive runoff could cause rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying, flood-prone locations to overflow. Residents in flood-prone areas are urged to stay alert for possible Flood Warnings and be prepared to act if flooding develops. 

CBS News Atlanta NEXT Weather meteorologist Orelon Sidney said the rainfall could also bring some relief to portions of northeast Georgia that remain in severe drought.

"Hopefully without damage, we can get some drought mitigation from this rain event," Sidney said. 

Forecasters encourage Georgians to monitor the latest forecasts as conditions evolve through the end of the week. 

CBS News Atlanta previously reported Georgia gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson announced he'd be joining the President to speak during his visit as well. 

Collins, a Republican representing Georgia's 10th Congressional District, is running to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November. 

His absence comes just weeks after Mr. Trump issued a late endorsement of Collins ahead of Georgia's Republican Senate primary, helping solidify support behind the congressman.

In a June Truth Social post, announcing his endorsement, Trump called Collins "a true Friend, Fighter, and WARRIOR," contrasting him with Ossoff, whom he criticized as an "ineffective" senator.

Why Cobb County matters

Trump's appearance is set for Wheeler High School in Marietta, placing the event in one of Georgia's most politically significant counties.

CBS News Atlanta reached out to Wheeler High School for comment and will provide updates if we hear back. 

Cobb County has become a key battleground over the past decade. 

Former Vice President Kamala Harris carried the county in the 2024 presidential election with nearly 57% of the vote, while Trump received just over 42%. Four years earlier, Cobb County was instrumental in helping then-President Joe Biden become the first Democratic presidential nominee in three decades to win Georgia.

According the CBS News, the county also became the focus of false election claims following the 2020 election, when social media posts showing a paper shredding truck outside a Cobb County government building fueled allegations that ballots were being destroyed. Georgia election officials and investigators determined the truck was unrelated to the election and that no ballots were shredded.

Spotlight on Georgia's 11th congressional district

Wheeler High School is located in Georgia's 11th congressional district which became open after Rep. Barry Loudermilk announced in February that he would not seek reelection.

Neurosurgeon and small business owner Dr. John Cowan won the Republican nomination following a runoff election and will face Democrat Chris Harden in November. In July, Trump also endorsed Cowan, praising him on Truth Social and saying he would work to grow the economy, secure the border, strengthen the military and "advance election integrity."

Trump's Cobb County visit is expected to draw supporters from across metro Atlanta as Republicans look to build momentum heading into the fall campaign season.

D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, 21, is charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, lewd and lascivious acts with an individual under 14 and mutilating a body. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his attorneys have denied all allegations.

Burke appeared inside a downtown Los Angeles courtroom on Tuesday wearing an orange jumpsuit. Also in attendance were Hernandez's family and her parents. 

The DA's office called its first witness, Senior Deputy Juan Gonzalez, from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Gonzalez said he responded to a welfare check at Burke's Hollywood Hills home in February 2024. He said he got a call from the Riverside County Sheriff's Office to see if Celeste Rivas was at the residence. 

Gonzalez said he asked Burke when the last time he saw her was and how they met. Gonzalez said that Burke responded by saying the last time he saw her was in 2023 and that they met through an online chat on Discord in 2021. Gonzalez said that Burke claimed to barely know Hernandez and that she allegedly told him she was 18 years old. 

Prosecutors also presented text messages recovered from Burke's iCloud that allegedly document the pair's discussions about sex, pregnancy and abortion. Investigators said they allegedly found explicit photographs on his phone.

The DA's office also showed a 10-minute video from Gonzalez's body-worn camera where Gonzalez could be seen showing Burke a missing persons flyer of Hernandez.

The defense briefly cross-examined Gonzalez, which mostly recounted the events of the video and highlighted Burke's cooperation with the officers. 

Prosecutors asked Gonzalez if Burke told him that he and Celeste were having sexual relations, to which the defense objected and the judge sustained. Gonzalez did not answer the question and he was dismissed from the stand. 

Prosecutors then called Joshua Byers, the detective who responded to the Hollywood Tow yard on Sept. 8, 2025, where Hernandez's remains were later discovered. Byers said he was initially called to the scene for a death investigation about a body found in a car. 

Byers said when he arrived at the scene, he opened the front trunk of the Tesla where he found a partially opened black body bag with the torso and head inside. Byers went on to describe in graphic detail how he found Hernandez's remains in several bags. He said after removing the bag, he found another black plastic trash bag with the body's severed limbs. During this time, Hernandez's family could be heard crying in the courtroom as Byers described what he saw. 

The DA's office added that security video and other evidence confirmed that Burke was the last person to drive the Tesla on July 29, 2025, before he left LA for a concert tour. 

Prosecutors also presented gruesome photos from the scene. Byers said there was quite a bit of decomposition and he could not make out facial features at the time. Investigators said they used dental records to identify Rivas' remains.

"[Rivas' mother] still hasn't been able to wrap her head around that Celeste was killed in such a gruesome, horrible manner," said Patrick Seinfeld, the attorney for Rivas' family. "She can't understand how anyone could be so vile."

If the judge finds probable cause, the next step is setting a trial date. The preliminary hearing is expected to last several days as prosecutors continue to call witnesses, present evidence and the defense cross-examines witnesses. 

"We will be seeking to hold David to answer for three felony counts for which he has been charged," LA County DA Nathan Hochman said outside of the courthouse. "First degree murder with special circumstances, the count of lewd and lascivious acts with a 13-year-old and the count of mutilation of human remains."

Murder case against D4vd

Prosecutors have alleged that Burke and Hernandez were involved in a sexual relationship that lasted several years before she threatened to expose their relationship and derail his music career.

According to court documents, the DA's office argues that Burke arranged a ride-share to bring the 14-year-old to his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025, before he allegedly stabbed her.

They also allege that he tried to cover his tracks by buying items under a fake name to dispose of her body, including a shovel, body bag, heavy-duty laundry bags, two chainsaws, a blue inflatable pool and a burn cage. They believe that he texted and called her as if she were still alive.

Hernandez's remains were discovered on Sept. 8, 2025, after police responded to reports of a foul smell attracting flies at the Hollywood Tow yard.

Medical examiners later determined that Hernandez was killed with "multiple penetrating wounds" in April 2025, several months before her dismembered, decomposing body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke.

"For several weeks, or possibly months, defendant left the victim's body to decompose inside his Tesla," prosecutors wrote in a court filing in April. "He lied to friends, business associates, and others who noticed the strong smell of decay in and around his home and vehicle."

Prosecutors claim that the burn cage was part of Burke's alleged "plan to incinerate evidence." He used the "blue inflatable pool to prevent her blood from spilling onto his garage floor" while she was dismembered, the DA's Office wrote in the court filing.

The murder charges include special circumstances — lying in wait, committing the crime for financial gain and murdering the witness in an investigation. If convicted, Burke faces the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. 

Hochman has not said yet whether his office will seek the death penalty.

"We will prove at that point beyond a reasonable doubt that David committed these three crimes," Hochman said. "And when — we will not predict if — when he is convicted we will then be seeking the sentence that we are allowed to seek by order of law."

A judge found 67-year-old Steven Edward Wilkins guilty of six counts of child molestation and four counts of public indecency.

Authorities say their investigation into the case began on Feb. 9, 2023, when a parent walking her child to the bus reported seeing Wilkins acting suspiciously.

According to prosecutors, video taken from the bus' cameras showed Wilkins had taken out a tablet and masturbated while waiting in the bus lane at Suwanee Elementary School. This appeared to have happened on at least four different days between Jan. 31 and Feb. 9, 2023. On each occasion, officials say there was at least one student on the bus.

Prosecutors say Wilkins also had portrayed Santa Claus at a local church during the holidays.

Following the conviction, a judge sentenced Wilkins to 20 years, with five in prison. After he is released, he will be required to register as a child sex offender for life and can not have any contact with minors.

"This is absolutely reprehensible behavior and will not be taken lightly," Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson said. "We are committed to protecting all victims, particularly those who are most vulnerable. This defendant will be monitored closely for the next 20 years and held accountable for the rest of his life."

"While the FDA traceback is indicating a specific independent farm, which represents less than 1% of the U.S.'s iceberg lettuce supply, as the potential source of the outbreak, we have removed all iceberg lettuce from the region indefinitely," the company said in a statement.

The Food and Drug Administration said in a statement Friday night that its traceback investigation identified a single supplier, Taylor Farms de Mexico, and that consumers should avoid eating shredded iceberg lettuce from Mexico at Taco Bells in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia while its investigation continues.

In a follow-up notice on Saturday, the FDA said that a sample of lettuce from Mexico that was supplied by Taylor Farms had tested positive for cyclospora, the parasite which causes cyclosporiasis. 

"This sample was collected during targeted import surveillance as a result of this outbreak investigation," the FDA said in a statement, adding though that the positive sample was not part of Taylor Farms' current recall. 

"They are currently working to identify whether any part of this implicated lot is available in commerce or in consumers homes," the FDA said. 

On Thursday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified lettuce supplied to select Taco Bell restaurants as a source of the multistate outbreak, more than a month after cases first began to appear.

A source familiar with the investigation had told CBS News on Thursday that the supplier was Salinas, California-based Taylor Farms. The iceberg lettuce was distributed to Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia, according to the CDC. 

The Department of Health and Human Services said the investigation is continuing. 

"The investigation remains active, and additional states, restaurants, retailers, or products may be identified as more information becomes available," said Emily Hilliard, a spokesperson for HHS.

Taco Bell removes lettuce

Taco Bell said that as of Friday, it "has completed removal of affected Taylor Farms lettuce from our restaurants."

"Based on ongoing conversations with public health officials, and out of an abundance of caution, Taco Bell worked swiftly to voluntarily remove the product from restaurants and the affected ingredient has been removed from our supply chain nationwide," Taco Bell Corp. said Friday in a statement. "We took this action to ensure our guests can enjoy their Taco Bell favorites safely."

"We believe public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests," Taco Bell Corp. said. "Taco Bell has taken precautionary action, and we encourage all relevant restaurants, retailers, and foodservice operators to do the same."

Data shows that sales at the fast-food chain have taken a hit amid the outbreak. According to Consumer Edge, which compiles spending data based on credit and debit transactions, year-over-year sales growth at Taco Bell was 4.2% in the week ending July 11, the slowest rate since April.

"Our data still shows positive year-over-year sales growth for Taco Bell, but that growth has slowed very recently," Michael Gunther, senior vice president of research and market intelligence at Consumer Edge, told CBS News in an email. 

Concerns about the outbreak could be the cause of the slower growth, he added.

The outbreak could also be dampening foot traffic at Taco Bell and other fast-food chains with lettuce-heavy menus, separate data from the foot traffic analytics platform Placer.ai shows. 

"While we only have a few days of data to work with, cyclospora headlines and product removals at some QSR [quick service restaurant] chains appear to be weighing modestly on visitation," the analytical team for Placer.ai said in an email. 

Walmart removes some lettuce products as a precaution

Retail giant Walmart announced Saturday it was also removing four Marketside bagged iceberg lettuce salad products from its stores in more than two dozen states.

"Although there is no indication that products sold in our stores are affected by the current Cyclospora investigations, we have removed four bagged iceberg lettuce salad products from select locations as a precaution after receiving notice from our supplier," Walmart said in a statement, noting that "there have been no confirmed illnesses associated with these products at this time."

The retailer advised those who have purchased the products to discard them or return them for a refund, out of an abundance of caution.

Scope of the outbreak

The outbreak, first reported in May, has spread to 34 states, sickening at least 1,644 people, according to the CDC. However, the CDC's tally lags behind state health departments, which have reported much larger numbers of cases. For instance, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported more than 5,000 confirmed cases as of Friday.

No deaths have been reported. 

"As a family-owned company, we are deeply concerned for those who became ill, their families, and the Americans whose trust in the safety of fresh produce has been shaken," Taylor Farms said in its statement Friday. 

"We are committed to doing everything in our power to address this issue, support the ongoing investigation, and help restore trust," the company added.

What is cyclosporiasis?

The food- and waterborne illness cyclosporiasis is caused by the cyclospora parasite, which causes long-lasting, watery and sometimes explosive diarrhea, according to public health experts. 

Outbreaks typically occur in the late spring and summer, and have historically been linked to bagged salads, cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas and green onions. 

Editor's note: This story has been updated to clarify that the investigation is continuing and other sources could still be identified.

In a 9 to 8 vote, the committee voted along party lines to advance Clayton's nomination to the floor, GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the committee chairman, announced Tuesday.

"Jay Clayton is a highly qualified nominee with a deep experience combatting a wide range of national security threats," Cotton said in a statement. "I'm pleased that the Senate Intelligence Committee voted to advance his nomination to be Director of National Intelligence."

President Trump nominated Clayton, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, last month. And although some Democrats had initially praised the nomination, which came as a more controversial pick was set to take over the agency as acting director of national intelligence, their support appeared to wane following Clayton's confirmation hearing.

At the hearing, Democrats repeatedly asked Clayton about the results of the 2020 election. And although he acknowledged that former President Joe Biden was certified as president and said he is "not an election denier," Clayton evaded questions about who won the 2020 contest. 

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the committee's vice chairman who had initially said he hoped to get Clayton confirmed "as quickly as possible," said Sunday that he would vote against Clayton's nomination. 

"I've known Jay for a long time. I like Jay. I worked well with him when he was at the SEC. But I was bitterly disappointed by his performance in front of my committee," Warner said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

But Democrats have also acknowledged the difficult position they're in, with former housing official Bill Pulte serving as the acting intelligence chief since Tulsi Gabbard's departure last month. 

Pulte has no national security background and came to prominence after accusing several of the president's political foes of mortgage fraud. Mr. Trump's selection of him prompted Democrats to walk away from a deal to reauthorize a warrantless surveillance authority known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It expired on June 12. 

Shortly before the expiration, the president announced that he was nominating Clayton as director of national intelligence. And Senate Republicans moved to quickly confirm him to break the logjam on the surveillance program. But days later, Mr. Trump abruptly pushed the Senate to cancel plans to move forward with Clayton's nomination when it became clear that it could prevent Pulte from temporarily taking the helm. 

Despite Democrats' opposition on the committee, Clayton is expected to be confirmed given the Republican majority in the Senate. Warner said with Pulte currently in the role, "we're a little rock-in-a-hard-place here," though he acknowledged that Clayton "will probably get confirmed." The Virginia Democrat added, "I hope we see the Jay Clayton that I have known and have worked with."

"The one thing I also know is, the absolute disaster we have right now with the acting DNI, Bill Pulte, who has no intelligence experience, who has nothing but loyalty to Trump," Warner said. 

Officials with DeKalb Public Health say the positive traps were found in two different ZIP codes: 30088 in unincorporated DeKalb and Redan, and 30360 in Doraville.

There have been no reported human cases of infection in the county in 2026, the agency reported.

These positive tests come a few weeks after mosquitoes trapped in Fulton County were found to have contracted West Nile virus.

Health officials say they are working with residents to eliminate mosquitoes by placing larvicide in areas with standing water and other measures.

West Nile virus was first reported in the United States in 1999 in New York, and then gradually spread across the country. It peaked in 2003, when nearly 10,000 cases were reported.

Scientists say many people — perhaps tens of thousands each year — are infected but don't know it because they have no symptoms, or only mild ones such as headaches, body aches, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea and rashes.

As of June 30, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it has confirmed at least 48 cases — 38 of them severe.  That's nearly five times higher than the average number of cases. Most of the cases have been in Arizona. Of the state's 32 total cases, 29 are in Maricopa County.

Experts recommend people wear long, loose-fitting clothes when outside to make it harder for mosquitoes to bite them. It's also recommended that people avoid being outdoors around dusk and dawn, when the mosquitoes that carry the virus are most active.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Crump said Wednesday there was "red discoloration" in the tissue in the back of the head, according to the autopsy, but added the reason was unknown. 

The body was in a state of decomposition when it was received for the autopsy, Crump said, which made it difficult for the forensic pathologist to ascertain information. Also, pieces of Wells' throat were retained by the state medical examiner, but the autopsy report said this was "a common forensic pathology practice." 

The autopsy was conducted on July 10, six days after Wells' body was found. The date of Wells' death was ruled unknown, according to Crump. 

A toxicology report was not performed, according to the autopsy.

"This has been a difficult journey," Wells' mother, Christine Wonsley, said at a press conference Wednesday. "Losing a child truly breaks your heart. It is a pain, you just can't measure it."

Crump said the autopsy was done in the "ferocious search for the truth of what really happened to Nolan Wells."

"It is our hope that our local authorities will do what they need to do," Christine Wonsley said. She called the lack of information from the police investigation "concerning."

The autopsy, which was paid for by former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, was conducted by former Washington, D.C., chief medical examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell. He has conducted thousands of autopsies in his career, according to lawyer Lisa Park, part of Crump's law firm.

Mitchell received the body for his autopsy after the state did its own on the morning of July 7. The results of the state autopsy have not been released. 

The Mississippi State Medical Examiner said in a statement Wednesday that its autopsy "was performed in accordance with the standard procedures and protocols followed for all autopsies." The medical examiner said it would not comment on the independent autopsy.

"We understand the public's interest in this case, but we continue to urge everyone to remain patient and avoid making assumptions or drawing conclusions before the investigation is complete," the state medical examiner said in a statement. "Sharing unfounded speculation only serves to create unnecessary obstacles during the investigative process. Investigators remain committed to following the facts wherever they lead and ensuring this investigation is thorough, comprehensive, and complete."

Wells' body was discovered in the water on July 6 just off the coast of Horn Island, which is about 10 miles south of the Mississippi mainland, following a search by the U.S. Coast Guard, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the National Park Service. Dental records confirmed the body was Wells, Jackson County coroner Bruce Lynd previously told CBS News. 

Wells traveled to the island with his friends but did not return to the mainland with them that afternoon, Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter said. His friends have told authorities Wells chose to stay behind on the island to speak with a girl and said he would come back to the mainland later.

His parents, Christine and Elmore Wonsley, told "CBS Mornings" earlier this month they didn't believe their son would've stayed behind by choice.

"No, he wouldn't. Nolan always stays with the group," Elmore Wonsley, Nolan's father, told "CBS Mornings." "If you be with me, you come back with me. So that I don't understand, and with me being a parent, if I was in that situation, I would have told them, 'You're going to get back on this boat with me because I don't want to answer to your parents if something happens to you.'"

He was last seen on the island at about 3 p.m., according to Crump's office. His mother reported him missing later that night and a search began.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson criticized the police investigation into Wells' death and said it was important to do a full investigation before speculating whether it was an accident.

Horn Island, which is little more than a 10-mile strip of sand and scrub brush, is a popular hangout spot for adults and young people. It is only accessible by boat and was packed with people on July Fourth, as seen in video from that day.

"There were so many people — I mean, boats, they were practically on top of each other. It was intense," Nolan's friend Lucas Aviz, who was on the island on the Fourth of July, told "Inside Edition."

Wells, who Crump said was a good swimmer, went to Ocean Springs High School and was a rising sophomore wide receiver on Southwest Mississippi Community College's football team. 

There is a $125,000 reward, including contributions from the Rev. Al Sharpton, Tyler Perry and Terrell Owens, for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Wells' death, though authorities have said no criminality has been determined.

Officials described 38-year-old Isabelle Rose Johnson as a dangerous woman who could be using disguises and fake stories to remain on the run.

"She disguises herself well. She's cunning. A master manipulator," the Walton County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook.

Johnson is wanted in the death of 43-year-old Jason Coulthart, whose remains were found on a property in Freeport, Florida. Five other individuals have been charged with accessory after the fact in the homicide, officials say.

She is described as being around 5 feet 3 inches tall with a weight of 120 pounds. Officials say she has longer brown hair, but she may have cut her hair short and dyed it to disguise her identity.

Johnson is known to have ties to Florida's Okaloosa and Walton counties, Georgia's Clarke, Carroll, and Harris counties, the city of Newnan, and parts of lower Alabama.

The wanted woman has multiple aliases including "Harley," "Jessica Elaine Bowman," "Jessica Elaine Thrush," "Jessica Elaine Thrash," "Jessica Dowdy," and possibly "Denise." Investigators believe she has a floral tattoo on her left hand near her thumb and another on her right ankle.

"Isabelle. Harley. Jessica. Whatever you're calling yourself now. Turn yourself in. Enough is enough," the sheriff's department wrote.

The U.S. Marshals Task Force has offered a $5,000 reward for information that leads to her arrest. That is on top of another $11,000 being offered jointly by Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers and the Florida Sheriffs Association Criminal Apprehension Assistance Program. Officials say that the Marshals' reward does not allow the tipster to remain anonymous.

If you see Johnson, do not approach her and call 911 immediately. If you have any information that could help with the case, call the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers tip line at (850) 863-8477 or submit a tip at www.emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com.

Homeland Security Investigations and its law enforcement partners said Operation Red Card began with the first World Cup match in Atlanta and focused on stopping traffickers and people seeking to exploit children during the international event.

According to HSI Special Agent in Charge Steven Schrank, the operation resulted in 13 arrests on human trafficking charges, 11 arrests involving child exploitation and 129 additional arrests tied to offenses including pandering, prostitution-related crimes, narcotics violations and outstanding criminal warrants. Officials also said 14 of those arrested were in the United States unlawfully.

Investigators said they located and identified 54 victims of human trafficking during the operation. All were offered victim services, and 27 accepted assistance that included crisis intervention, medical care, emergency shelter, transportation, food, clothing and connections to long-term support programs, according to the Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council Director Jay Neal.

Schrank highlighted several cases uncovered during the operation, including the arrest of a 30-year-old convicted felon who investigators said traveled to meet what he believed was a 14-year-old child for sex and arrived with a shotgun and body armor. He also described two separate human trafficking cases in which suspects allegedly forced women into commercial sex acts and were found with firearms.

Officials said the operation took place throughout metro Atlanta rather than being concentrated in one area. Schrank said investigators encountered both local traffickers and suspects who traveled to metro Atlanta hoping to take advantage of the influx of World Cup visitors. He added that none of the people arrested were international visitors who came to the United States specifically for the tournament.

The operation coincided with changes to Georgia law that took effect July 1, making offenses such as pimping and pandering felonies. Schrank said the updated law strengthened investigators' ability to hold offenders accountable during the latter part of the operation.

"The arrests and rescues are more than numbers," Schrank said. "They represent lives changed, exploitation stopped, and our community made safer." 

"Atlanta is not a safe place for traffickers and predators," he added. 

Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey called the operation a proactive effort to combat child exploitation and human trafficking, saying partnerships among federal, state and local agencies are critical to dismantling organized criminal networks and protecting victims.

Ciarre Campbell, the 41-year-old brother of NFL defensive end Calais Campbell, appeared in court Tuesday for what was supposed to be a bond hearing. Instead, attorneys said that the motion was withdrawn.

"Alright, we'll let it take that course," the judge said.

Attorney E. Jay Abt told CBS News Atlanta that they were canceling all of Ciarre Campbell's hearings for the week, but offered no other comment.

Ciarre Campbell has been charged with murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of certain felonies for the death of his mother, Nateal Campbell.

In a 911 call released by police, an unidentified man can be heard asking for a wellness check. He tells the dispatcher that he is trying to get inside his mother's house with his brother and sister-in-law. He says they can see another brother, who is "mentally ill" and lives with their mom, inside the home. The caller says the brother inside had said their mother left, but a neighbor's camera footage shows she didn't.

Arrest warrants say Nateal Campbell's throat was cut and Ciarre Campbell was found with a knife. Officers found her unresponsive when they arrived at around 12:30 p.m. on June 30, according to a police statement.

Because his bond motion was withdrawn, he remains in custody at the Fulton County Jail.

Previous police calls and incidents at Campbell's home

Police records show the home on Roswell Road NW had multiple prior calls for service in 2025 and 2026, including reports of mental health concerns, disturbances, suspicious activity, fire incidents and welfare checks.

In an April 12 incident report, an officer documented reports of the suspect allegedly turning off a neighbor's power, being seen on top of an air conditioning unit, and entering properties through windows. The report also states that Mrs. Nateal Campbell told police her son was not taking medication she identified as olanzapine for schizophrenia.

An April 24 incident involved a fire at the residence, where a family member told police the suspect had started a fire in the garage "to rid the house of the demons," according to the report. Fire crews later found smoking garbage cans inside the garage after forcing entry into the home.

On May 26, police were again called to the area after a neighbor reported the suspect acting erratically, including banging on doors and entering the residence through a window. The neighbor also provided officers with video footage, according to the report.

On June 30, officers returned for the welfare check that led to the discovery of Mrs. Campbell's death.

In a statement provided through CBS News Atlanta, the Campbell family confirmed the death of their mother, Mrs. Nateal Campbell, and asked for privacy as they grieve.

"We are devastated to share that the Campbell Family has lost its matriarch, Mrs. Nateal Campbell," the statement read. "While the details of her passing are still being investigated, we take comfort in knowing she is reunited with our father, her beloved Chuck, and in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board found that components of a sprinkler system inside the BioLab plant "had been experiencing significant corrosion and leaking" since 2019. That was shortly after the company began storing the chemicals at the plant, the agency said in its final report on the fire Tuesday.

The huge sacks "would naturally off-gas chlorine fumes that combined with ambient humidity in the warehouse and condensed as hydrochloric acid droplets" on the metal sprinkler heads, the report said.

During a sprinkler inspection in December 2023 at the plant in Conyers, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of downtown Atlanta, over 1,100 sprinkler heads were found to be corroded, it said.

On the day of the fire, Sept. 29, 2024, a corroded sprinkler system component failed. Water came into contact with the chemicals and set off a decomposition reaction that generated heat, causing the release of smoke, toxic vapors and fire.

"The conditions and circumstances at the Bio-Lab Conyers warehouse were completely unacceptable," Steve Owens, board chairperson, said. He said about 14 million pounds (6.3 million kilograms) of reactive chemicals were stored without proper safeguards.

"These hazardous chemicals were packaged in roughly 5,000 giant sacks, each weighing more than a ton, and some of them were stacked in such a way in the warehouse that responders were not able to keep the initial situation from developing into a catastrophic fire and massive plume of toxic smoke that put thousands of people potentially at risk."

BioLab makes chemicals that kill algae and bacteria in water, primarily for swimming pools and hot tubs. The company is a subsidiary of Lawrenceville, Georgia-based KIK Consumer Products.

The company decided last year not to rebuild the plant. It was cited by the U.S. Department of Labor for six violations, including four serious ones, and more than $60,000 in proposed penalties.

The board called for expanded regulatory coverage of the chemicals.

A BioLab spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company cooperated fully with the board and is reviewing the final report.

"We will carefully consider its recommendations as part of our ongoing commitment to safety and continuous improvement," it said. "The health and safety of the communities where we operate is a top priority, and we worked collaboratively with first responders and relevant authorities to complete the emergency response in October 2024.

"We also completed the clean-up of the site affected by the fire and established resources dedicated to supporting area residents and business owners."

The closure was planned for all northbound and southbound lanes of the interstate between Exit 16 at S. Atlanta Road and Exit 18 at East Paces Ferry Road. Crews were expected to begin work at 7 p.m. on Friday and continue through early Monday morning.

Because of the weather, the Georgia Department of Transportation says the activity will be rescheduled for another weekend in the future. Officials will notify the public of the new dates whenever they are scheduled.

The closures are part of the I-285 West Side Rebuild, a $370 million project designed to improve safety and mobility for the corridor. The work includes replacing the existing pavement and improving the shoulder lanes, median, guardrails, and signage.

GDOT officials say the lanes need to be closed to ensure there is room for crews to safely work with the large equipment needed for the concrete slab rehabilitation project.

Work on the project is set to be finished in the fall of 2028.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday that it seized more than 1,000 internet domains accused of illegally streaming FIFA World Cup matches, calling it one of the largest anti-piracy enforcement actions tied to a sporting event. The operation, dubbed Operation Offsides, unfolded over three phases during the month-long tournament. 

Officials say the websites violated U.S. copyright law by offering unauthorized streams of World Cup matches, diverting viewers away from licensed broadcasters while exposing users to potential cybersecurity risks, including malware and identity theft. 

The investigation was led by Homeland Security Investigations' Washington Field Office and the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, with assistance from FIFA and media companies including NBCUniversal, beIN Media Group, Warner Bros., the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment and UFC. 

The Justice Department said the enforcement effort expanded beyond the United States. 

Working alongside authorities in Colombia and Europe, investigators also targeted cybercrime groups allegedly involved in illegal streaming operations and the sale of counterfeit World Cup merchandise. Colombian authorities arrested four suspected members of a cybercrime organization on July 17 as part of the coordinated operation. 

The announcement comes just one day after Spain defeated Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final, capping a tournament hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Atlanta and Miami were among the U.S. host cities, welcoming hundreds of thousands of fans and staging some of the tournament's highest-profile matches. 

CBS News Atlanta and CBS News Miami documented packed stadiums, international fan celebrations and the tournament's economic impact throughout the World Cup.

Federal officials said the crackdown was intended not only to protect intellectual property rights but also to protect consumers.

"The sustained effort to seize more than a thousand domains dedicated to illegally streaming the World Cup confirms the administration's commitment to intellectual property rights and to the success of the 2026 FIFA World Cup," Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva said in a statement. 

Authorities say visitors attempting to access the seized websites are now redirected to a government seizure notice instead of pirated streams. 

The Justice Department said investigations into digital piracy connected to major sporting events remain ongoing.
