The temporary closure of airspace over El Paso has been lifted. There is no threat to commercial aviation. All flights will resume as normal.

BREAKING: A source briefed by FAA tells me the El Paso flight ban was driven by military operations from Biggs Army Air Field at Fort Bliss. The FAA acted after the Defense Department could not assure civilian flight safety.

President Trump delivers remarks on the horrific attack on the Great National Guard Warriors twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information. Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the entire Guard community.

It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues. Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.

Heartbreaking images coming out of Kentucky tonight. Here’s an update from @FAANews - UPS cargo flight 2976 - Crashed around 5:15 ET after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport en route to Honolulu - The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas MD-11. Please join me in prayer for the Louisville community and flight crew impacted by this horrific crash. The @NTSB and @FAANews are mobilizing to get on the ground and will lead the investigation.

Checking in on the SC Governor's race, @henrymcmaster's spokesperson (@bcharochak) confirms to me: "Governor McMaster has not made an endorsement in the race." @foxcarolinanews

JUST IN: Greenville County leaders confirm 2 EMS workers, and 1 Sheriff’s Office employee have been fired over inappropriate social media posts regarding Charlie Kirk’s killing. Statement from the Sheriff’s Office:

I commend Clemson for finally taking action, but this is bigger than one school. Every taxpayer-funded institution must uphold standards of decency and respect. Celebrating violence has no place in our classrooms.

This is far from over. Celebrating an assassination is pure evil, and anyone in a taxpayer-funded classroom who engages in this filth must be held accountable. We will not tolerate political violence being normalized in our schools.

Congressman @RalphNorman says he’s going to call Capitol Police in response to threats made against @NancyMace. The two are also competing to be the next governor of South Carolina.

#MORE: @PamelaEvette continues to call for an end to tenure in response to Clemson firing 3 employees accused of inappropriate social media comments about Charlie Kirk’s killing.

NEW: Clemson has announced that all 3 employees accused of making inappropriate social media posts have now been fired. Comes after nearly a week of pressure from state & federal lawmakers. @foxcarolinanews

Anything less than firing those who mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a betrayal and a slap in the face to every taxpayer footing their salaries. South Carolina will never tolerate educators celebrating political violence. We’re calling on the Department of Education to cut off every dime to any school who does. One down. Two to go. 🇺🇸
