Shooter Kills Four in New York Including Blackstone Exec and NYPD Officer (WSJ. 20250729)Famine is now unfolding in Gaza. That's the most dire assessment of the enclave's deepening hunger crisis since the start of the war. An interim report released this morning by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, found at least 16 children under five have died of hunger-related causes since mid-July. Today's assessment is not an official declaration of famine, which happens rarely and is very politically sensitive. It is now up to governments and senior UN officials to declare a famine based on the IPC's assessment. A lone shooter has killed four people, including a police officer and an executive from financial firm Blackstone, in a Midtown New York building. The gunman then turned the gun on himself. Speaking last night, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the shooter was twenty-seven-year-old Shane Tamura, who had driven his black BMW across the country from Colorado, double-parked on Park Avenue during the evening rush, and began shooting as soon as he was inside the building lobby. The NYPD said the alleged shooter had a documented mental health history and that his motives are still under investigation. A fifth person remains in critical condition. And we are exclusively reporting that premiums for Medicare drug plans are set to increase sharply next year. That's mostly due to rising costs, regulatory changes, and cutbacks to a subsidy program. That initiative has largely shielded seniors from rising monthly bills in 2025. According to a Medicare official, the subsidy program pumped an extra $6.2 billion of federal payments into so-called Part D plans this year. The Trump administration is set to cut spending on that program by about 40% in 2026. Gaza 지구에 기아가 발생하고 있음. 전쟁 발발 후 가장 심각한 수준인 것으로 나타남. 7월 중순 이후 5세 이하 어린이 16명이 기아로 사망했다고 통합 식량 안보 단계 분류(IPC) 중간 보고서가 평가함. 기아는 정치적으로 민감한 사항이므로 공식적인 발표는 아님. IPC의 결과 확인은 정부 및 고위 UN 관료에게 달려있음. 한편, 뉴욕에서 일어난 총기 사건으로 경찰관, Blackstone 임원 등 4명이 사망했음. 범인은 이후 자신의 목숨도 끊음. 경찰(NYPD)은 범인의 이름과 나이를 밝히며, 콜로라도 주에서 뉴욕 주까지 혼자 운전해 Park Avenue에 이중주차하고 건물 로비에 들어서자마자 총기를 난사했음. 범인은 정신 질환이 있었으며 동기는 조사 중임. 다섯 번째 피해자는 위중한 상태임. 한편, 미 건강보험프로그램 Medicare 보험료가 내년에 상당히 인상될 예정임. 비용 증가, 규제 변화, 국가 보조금 감소 때문임. 이 프로그램은 고령층을 보호해왔음. 올해 62억 달러의 연방 보조금으로 Part D 계획을 지원했으나, 트럼프는 내년 예산을 40% 삭감했음
