POLICE ARRESTED TWO OUT OF THE THREE SUSPECTS THAT RAN FROM THE SCENE. THEY SAY THAT THIRD SUSPECT IS STILL ON THE RUN. DETECTIVES TELL US THEIR INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING. ALSO DEVELOPING THIS MORNING, WE ARE LEARNING THAT MORE DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS SAY THEY HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY BOMB THREATS. AFTER APPEARING IN A VIDEO URGING TROOPS TO DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS. WE TOLD YOU EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT CONGRESSMAN CHRIS DELUZIO OFFICES IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA BEING TARGETED. WELL, NOW, SPOKESPEOPLE FOR REPRESENTATIVE JASON CROW, CHRISSY HOULIHAN AND MAGGIE GOODLANDER SAY THEIR DISTRICT OFFICES WERE TARGETED ON FRIDAY AS WELL. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF, IS THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD. AND WHEN HE SAYS SOMETHING, PEOPLE LISTEN AND HIS WORDS HAVE REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES FOR REAL PEOPLE. THIS IS JUST NOT WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS. THERE’S NO PLACE FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY. A SPOKESPERSON FOR MICHIGAN SENATOR ELISSA SLOTKIN ALSO SAYS HER HOME WAS THREATENED RECENTLY. ALTOGETHER, THEY MAKE UP FIVE OF THE SIX LAWMAKERS WHO RELEASED A VIDEO THIS WEEK URGING U.S. TROOPS TO DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS THAT MAY BE ISSUED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. PRESIDENT TRUMP LATER DESCRIBED THAT VIDEO AS, QUOTE, SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. 906 IS OUR TIME. UKRAINE’S PRESIDENT ZELENSKY IS NOW FACING A THURSDAY DEADLINE TO ACCEPT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO END THE WAR WITH RUSSIA. BUT UKRAINE’S EUROPEAN ALLIES AND SOME U.S. SENATORS ARE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE U.S. PROPOSAL THIS MORNING. HERE’S ABC’S LIONEL MOISE WITH THE DETAILS. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SETTING A THURSDAY DEADLINE FOR UKRAINE TO RESPOND TO A U.S. PLAN AIMED AT ENDING THE RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR. BUT OVER THE WEEKEND, THE PRESIDENT MADE IT CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT HIS FINAL OFFER. IS THIS YOUR FINAL OFFER TO UKRAINE? NO. THE 28 POINT PEACE PLAN INCLUDES SEVERAL RUSSIAN DEMANDS THAT UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT ZELENSKY HAS REJECTED MANY TIMES, INCLUDING GIVING UP LARGE PIECES OF TERRITORY, LIMITING THE SIZE OF UKRAINE’S MILITARY AND BLOCKING A PATHWAY TO NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR UKRAINE. BUT THIS MORNING, QUESTIONS ARE EMERGING ABOUT HOW THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED. A GROUP OF SENATORS SAYING SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO TOLD THEM THE 28 POINT PROPOSAL WAS DEVELOPED BY RUSSIA, NOT BY THE UNITED STATES. BUT RUBIO DENIES. HE SAID THAT POSTING ON X THAT THE PEACE PROPOSAL WAS AUTHORED BY THE U.S. AND DESCRIBING IT AS A FRAMEWORK FOR ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS. MEANWHILE, BIPARTISAN CRITICISM OF THE PLAN IS GROWING. NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRAT JEANNE SHAHEEN AND NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN THOM TILLIS WARNED THAT THE PLAN WOULD ONLY REWARD MOSCOW FOR ITS AGGRESSION AND SEND A MESSAGE TO OTHER LEADERS WHO HAVE THREATENED THEIR NEIGHBORS. KEY UKRAINIAN EUROPEAN ALLIES FROM FRANCE, GERMANY AND THE UK ARE ALSO UNHAPPY WITH THE U.S. PROPOSAL. I THINK FROM THE EUROPEANS PERSPECTIVE, THIS WOULD SIMPLY REINFORCE THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN TAKE TERRAIN BY FORCE AND IT MIGHT ESSENTIALLY NOT IN THERE, RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS WELCOMED THE U.S. PLAN, SAYING IT COULD SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR A FINAL PEACE SETTLEMENT. IF THE U.S. CAN GET UKRAINE AND ITS EUROPEAN ALLIES TO AGREE. PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY SAYS HE HAS APPOINTED A UKRAINIAN DELEGATION TO REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE U.S. PLAN. A TOP U.S. OFFICIAL TELLS ABC NEWS A TEAM OF U.S. NEGOTIATORS THAT INCLUDES SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO AND ENVOY STEVE WITKOFF WILL MEET IN GENEVA WITH THAT UKRAINIAN DELEGATION. THE OFFICIAL ALSO SAYS THE U.S. TEAM IS PLANNING A SEPARATE MEETING WITH RUSSIAN NEGOTIATORS, BUT PROVIDED NO DETAILS ON THAT MEETING. LIONEL MOISE, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK. 908 IS OUR TIME THE RIVERHOUNDS RETURN TO PITTSBURGH TODAY, AND THEY’LL BE BRINGING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY WITH THEM. THAT WAS THE EXCITING MOMENT THAT THE TEAM CAPTURED THE USL CHAMPIONSHIP YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER A SHOOTOUT WIN AGAINST TULSA. WE WERE AT HIGHMARK STADIUM WHERE FANS GOT TO WATCH THE EXCITEMENT ON THE BIG SCREEN THERE. BOTH TEAMS PLAYED 120 MINUTES OF SCORELESS SOCCER, BUT THE HOUNDS TOOK THE TITLE IN OVERTIME. IT’S THEIR FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IN FRANCHISE HISTORY. OH MY GOSH. ON TOP OF THE WORLD, BABY, LET’S GO. I’M VERY EXCITED. I WENT TO THE FIRST GAME 26 YEARS AGO. YEAH, THIS IS I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THESE THESE TROPHY DROUGHTS? AND NOW THE CITY HAS GOT A CHAMP. HE’S GOT 1 IN 6 MONTHS. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL HIM THAT. IT’S NOT ALWAYS LIKE THIS. HOW FUN IS THAT? THE WIN MARKS THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH’S FIRST PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 2017. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RIVERHOUNDS. WE, OF COURSE, WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ABOUT
