Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says the motive of the person suspected of carrying out the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is still under investigation, telling NBC News' "Meet the Press" that "preliminary" findings suggest he was targeting administration officials. "We're still investigating a motive, and that's something that will necessarily take a couple of days at least," he told moderator Kristen Welker. "We believe he was targeting administration officials in this attack, attempted attack, but that's again, quite preliminary."

(photo credit: AYAL MARGOLIN/FLASH90) Hezbollah  and Israel on Sunday both escalated their attacks and accusations over the other side violating the ceasefire. Leading into Sunday, the first dispute between the sides following the April 17 ceasefire was that Israel said that the ceasefire only applied North of the  Litani River , but not within southern Lebanon.
