  In the day's other headlines: A former top aide to President Trump, Taylor Budowich, testified before a federal grand jury about classified documents at Mr. Trump's Florida estate.

  On Twitter, Budowich said — quote — "I fulfilled a legal obligation to testify and I answered every question honestly."

  The new grand jury is separate from a panel in Washington. Both are reportedly investigating Mr. Trump's handling of classified material recovered from his Mar-a-Lago home.

  A teenager in Richmond, Virginia, was arraigned today in a shooting that killed two people and wounded five just after a high school graduation. Tuesday's attack left families stunned and police trying to restore order. The interim police chief says the 19-year-old suspect singled out one of the new graduates. He was killed, along with his father.

• Rick Edwards, Richmond, Virginia, Interim Police Chief:

  This was targeted at one individual. And so they knew each other and had an ongoing dispute. That's the — that's what we know at this time. But, again, as I said, this is still a fluid situation. We're hours into the investigation and well learn more as we go.

  The accused gunman is charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond.

  A white woman in Ocala, Florida, is now charged with killing a Black neighbor Ajike Owens in a case that brought demands for action. Owens was fatally shot in a Friday night confrontation. Last night, Susan Lorincz was charged with manslaughter. The local sheriff says it took time to review her claim of self-defense.

• Billy Woods, Marion County, Florida, Sheriff:

  When we do these investigations of cases of this level, rushing in to make an arrest is not the right thing to do sometimes.

  My detectives cannot complete an investigation without getting all sides of the story. And, that night, all we had was one person's story, and that was the shooter's story.

• Amna Nawaz:

  Lorincz had said she fired through her front door when Owens tried to break it down. The sheriff said, ultimately, investigators found it was not a stand-your-ground case, but, in his words — quote — "simply a killing."

  In Rome, Pope Francis is recovering tonight after undergoing abdominal surgery. The pontiff left for the hospital earlier today. His doctor said the three-hour operation repaired a hernia apparently caused by colon surgery in 2021.

• Dr. Sergio AlfieriI, Surgeon (through translator):

  The surgery and general anesthesia went off without complications. The Holy Father reacted well to both the surgery and the anesthesia. The Holy Father is already awake. He has already joked around and teased me.

• Amna Nawaz:

  Pope Francis is 86 years old. He's expected to remain hospitalized for several days.

  Back in this country, a school board in Southern California has voted to designate June as Pride Month after supporters and opponents came to blows.

Police quickly moved in to break up the brawl and clear the area.

  CNN has fired its embattled CEO, Chris Licht, after just a year on the job. He had vowed to bring the cable network closer to the political center, but ratings and revenues sagged.
