Authorities say a gunman who went on a deadly shooting rampage in several locations in the Denver area was targeting at least some of his victims.

Police say the suspect in Monday's shootings killed five people, including one who succumbed to her injuries Tuesday.

They say the suspect wounded an officer who then shot and killed the gunman in a shopping area in the Denver suburb of Lakewood.

Police identified the gunman Tuesday as 47 year old Lyndon James McLeod.

They say McLeod was on the radar of law enforcement and that he knew some of his victims.

Police declined to say what he'd been investigated for previously but noted no charges were filed.

Trump signals tariff cut for India after pledge to halt Russian oil imports

U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration plans to lower tariffs on Indian goods to 18 per cent, down from the current 25 per cent, after India agreed to stop purchasing oil from Russia. The announcement follows months of pressure from Washington urging New Delhi to reduce its reliance on discounted Russian crude amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. India has been one of the world’s largest buyers of Russian oil since Moscow’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, taking advantage of lower prices as many Western countries moved to restrict energy trade with Russia.
