UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't know what he did, but he didn't deserve to be executed in the street. I didn't hear anything until the gunshots, so I don't know anything other than that. He's dead.

BRIAN ABEL, CNN ANCHOR: Another man shot and killed by ICE agents. It's now sparking renewed demands for transparency and accountability. What DHS is now saying about the shooting.
A 65-year-old man attacked by a bison, sending him flying in the air. We hear from the photographer who caught the terrifying moment.
And take a look at this. A man rescued after driving into the sea. More on this story later this morning.
Good morning to you. I'm Brian Abel, and this is CNN HEADLINE EXPRESS. Glad you're with us this morning. Let's get started.
A second man has been shot and killed by ICE agents in less than a week. This one in Maine. A neighbor has identified him as 26-year-old Juan Sebastian Guerrero from Colombia and immigrants rights group says he was authorized to work in the U.S.
Surveillance footage obtained by "The Associated Press" appears to show the car carrying Guerrero as it's being stopped.
The white sedan is seen driving in slow circles at an intersection before another vehicle drives up and blocks it. Agents then approach the vehicle and eventually pull the driver from it. We should note this video is blurry and it's unclear if it depicts the shooting itself. We also want to warn you video of the aftermath you are about to see may be disturbing.
The video shows federal agents poll who appears to be Guerrero from the driver side of a vehicle after he was shot and immigration rights group says Guerrero was headed to work when the shooting occurred.
The Department of Homeland Security has issued a statement saying, quote, "ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon."
DHS didn't say why the officer believed the man was a public safety risk. Senator Angus King says Guerrero was not the target of the warrant. And the shooting is sparking protests, a vigil as well, and a lot of questions about why an officer would shoot at a fleeing vehicle.
We have more now from Sherrell Hubbard and another warning. Her report does contain more potentially disturbing video.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SHERRELL HUBBARD, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Protesters outside of Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins' office outraged that a second person in less than a week has been shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
OLIVIA CLAY, RESIDENT: The citizens of this country are literally being gunned down in the street for doing nothing for the color of their skin. It's disgusting.
HUBBARD (voice-over): Videos obtained by CNN show federal officers in Bedford, Maine police providing aid to a man who authorities say was killed by ICE Monday morning. The Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition said the person was a 26-year-old Colombian man authorized to work in the U.S.
SEN. ANGUS KING (I-ME): He had been given an order to leave the country. He was in a vehicle, pulled out in the vehicle, and the term the secretary used was weaponized the vehicle.
HUBBARD (voice-over): Weaponizing a vehicle, a seemingly recurring narrative and official accounts of ICE killings.
Last week in Houston, immigration officials say a federal agent shot and killed 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo after he allegedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle, a claim his fellow passengers denied.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: His family deserves answers.
HUBBARD (voice-over): Leaders in multiple cities venting frustrations over what they describe as a lack of cooperation with federal authorities after ICE shootings.
In Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in January after he approached her car and she started to drive away.
Minnesota prosecutors saying Monday they finally have hard drives with evidence that federal authorities had previously withheld.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We are now in July, which marks six months.
HUBBARD (voice-over): I'm Sherrell Hubbard, reporting.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
ABEL: And more now on that fatal ICE shooting in Texas. The Harris County District Attorney says his office is already issued nearly 20 subpoenas for evidence and testimony in the case, but he says the federal government is not cooperating and an independent investigation could take many months.
Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed on July 7th. He was not the target of the immigration enforcement operation either, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. Witnesses dispute ICE officials claims the man targeted them with his vehicle.
Let's turn now to the war with Iran, the U.S. launching a third night of strikes overnight, hitting targets across the country. Social media -- social media video shows the aftermath of the strikes. And President Trump did inform Congress of the operation, calling it a limited military action. U.S. Central Command says it will resume a naval blockade on ships entering Iranian ports. And Trump says the U.S. will control access to the Strait of Hormuz.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We are just going forward with attacking them tonight. And we're taking out all of their capability for anything having to do with the Strait, with the Hormuz Strait. And I think in the end, we will end up just controlling the whole thing.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ABEL: Trump also suggested the U.S. could charge a 20 percent protection fee for safe passage through the strait. Those comments set oil prices spiking Monday. Both Brent crude and U.S. oil rising seven percent, hitting their highest levels in a month.
And then take a look at this. U.S. Central Command says it's used a brand new weapon for the first time. A one way sea drone video here shows it striking a submarine and a maintenance vessel at an Iranian port on Sunday. The company that makes the drone says it could travel more than 1,000 miles.
South Carolina's governor says Lindsey Graham's younger sister will fill the late senator's seat in the interim, the 71-year-old four-term senator died unexpectedly Saturday from medical emergency involving his heart, known as aortic dissection, the tearing of his aorta. Graham was seeking reelection. State law appears to call for a special Republican primary in just under a month to determine who will replace Graham's name on the November ballot. For now, Darline Graham Nordone will serve in the interim role until the end of the year.
Republican leaders, including President Trump, backing that choice.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DARLINE GRAHAM NORDONE, SISTER OF LINDSEY GRAHAM: It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the President and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States. Lindsey has always been there for me, and now I will be there for him.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ABEL: Graham's sudden death also sets off a rushed primary to replace him on the November ballot.
A federal judge, meanwhile, is issuing a scathing ruling against President Trump, declaring his private lawsuit against the IRS was brought in bad faith to, quote, "manipulate the judicial process". This is the case that led to the creation of the now defunct controversial $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund for the president's allies. Now, the judge has ordered sanctions against the attorneys involved.
And new this morning, President Trump says the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool has been drained so more repairs can be done and you can see it here. Bone dry almost. The Trump administration has spent more than $14 million on the project since April, but various setbacks have stalled work on the famous landmark, including major algae blooms that have led to green tinted water and. a chipping surface on the bottom.
And Trump claims vandals are responsible for gashing the lining of the pool. At least three people have been charged with destruction of property. They've all pleaded not guilty.
We have lots more to come on CNN HEADLINE EXPRESS this morning.
Police say a man sitting on a bench outside a courthouse started shooting at somebody. How it all unfolded and what police say happened next.

[05:13:47]
ABEL: Several state attorneys general are igniting a legal showdown to block what could be one of the biggest media deals ever. These 12 states here on your screen that you're about to see are all suing to stop Paramount Skydance's takeover of CNN's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. The suit was filed in California. The attorneys general, all Democrats, argue the deal would hurt competition.
Here's what California's A.G. had to say.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ROB BONTA, CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL: There is no debate here. This merger would snuff out competition, drive up prices, diminish content quality, and produce fewer movies and shows each year. That is the bottom line.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ABEL: Paramount issued a statement on the lawsuit saying the deal will create a media company that is better positioned to compete with larger companies and generate premium content. Paramount has also pointed out that regulators around the world, including the Department of Justice, have already approved the merger.
A grandfather is recovering after a bison attack in Yellowstone National Park and the terrifying moment proved the merger. A grandfather is recovering after a bison attack in Yellowstone National Park and the terrifying moment went viral on social media. We do want to warn you, you may find this video disturbing.
[05:15:02]
The man was walking with his grandson when a bison charged at him and tossed him several feet in the air. Sixty-five-year-old suffered multiple broken bones.
CNN's Erin Burnett spoke with a photographer about what he saw right before the attack.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MIKE MACLEOD, PHOTOGRAPHER: I first was taking pictures of the bison approaching a group of boys who really weren't instigating anything. They weren't too close. The bison charged the boys. They scattered. And then the bison ran into a campsite of a young couple, forced them away from their dinner, and then just started rolling in the dust and just very agitated. And then he sat down and he was looking towards the road. And that's where the two victims come into the scene by behind the bison.
ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: How fast did all this happen? Was there something in his behavior where right after that white truck passes, he jumps up and he seems to just specifically aim for the grandfather and his grandson?
MACLEOD: You know, I wish there was. And I've been around bison quite a bit, lived in Montana for 35 years or so. But I would have called this one wrong. I thought that they were safe and I was really surprised because you see that pickup truck ran in front or drove in front first and I thought the bison was going to get angry at the pickup truck and I was really surprised when he went after the people.
BURNETT: So when this happens though, the bison actually. has contact with a human being and this man is flung up into the air. And as I said, thank God he is recovering. He is injured. He broke his femur in multiple places, but he's going to be okay. But then what happens? Does the bison, just what does it do?
MACLEOD: Yeah, so that was the scariest part of the whole thing because the bison, you know, wild animals in general, if they are not going to want to eat you and they attack you, it's because they're usually being territorial or they're trying to eliminate some kind of danger. And so once he hit the grandfather and the grandfather was laying motionless on the ground, he was looking for some other threat.
And what I was worried about is that he wasn't going to find any other threat there, so he was going to go back to the victim and really do him in. I stopped filming, ran over there, and a bunch of other campers ran with me, and we hazed the bison away. He ran off, and then the victim was on his side. He was complaining of really severe pain in his leg. And the first thing he asked is, "How is my grandson?"

ABEL: Trees ripped out of the ground. A powerful, fast-moving storm tore through parts of Philadelphia over the weekend. Thousands lost power as falling trees, damaged homes, crushed cars, and triggered flash flooding. The mayor declaring a disaster emergency.
And there are more threats targeting New England today, as well as Texas, where a flash flood threat could drop, get this, a summer's worth of rain.
Here's CNN's meteorologist Derek Van Dam.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
DEREK VAN DAM, CNN METEOROLOGIST: We'll be watching the possibility of severe weather today across the part of the country that doesn't normally experience this type of weather, northern New England. So if you live in Vermont, New Hampshire and into northern Maine, this is an area that has the potential for large hail damaging winds. Can't rule out an isolated tornado as well. Lots of heat across the East Coast. And anytime we get this kind of a trough that will interact with that heat, it will fire off showers and thunderstorms will keep a close eye to the sky there.
Look at this stalled out frontal boundary across the Deep South that's producing periods of rainy weather from Eastern and Central Texas right through the southeast coastline that will continue. We're going to monitor the potential for a flood threat that continues to build up across south and central portions of Texas.
This heat dome is responsible for the trajectory of some of these stronger storms across northern New England. It rides up and over this area of high pressure and often can tap into those high elevation winds producing the severe weather threat at the surface.
So, here's our showers and thunderstorms. The forecast rainfall and you can see how it's concentrated really across the state of Texas. This area needs to look out for the potential of flooding. Localized flooding is possible anywhere really across the Deep South with some of these slow moving thunderstorms that pop up throughout the course of the week.
Here's our look at our high temperatures, 94 degrees in the nation's capital, 97 for Chicago. It'll get warmer from here. Believe it or not, we have another heat wave that is going to build in along the East Coast with temperatures flirting with 100 degree mark in many locations.
Back to you.

ABEL: Health officials in Michigan say lettuce and salad greens may be behind the diarrhea outbreak as cases nationwide rise above 3,000 now. Lettuce and salad greens have repeatedly come up during the investigation into the cyclospora parasite. However, officials caution other foods can't be ruled out yet and no specific grower or supply fire has been identified.
There are more than 2,600 cases in Michigan alone, with 44 people hospitalized. Right now, 31 states are reporting cases, but it's not clear if they are all part of the same outbreak.
And gas prices might be getting ready to reverse course again. After weeks of lower prices, your next trip to the gas pump may end up costing you more.
[05:25:03]
Here's Jenn Sullivan.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JENN SULLIVAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Get ready to pay more to fill up your tank again. Escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran are causing oil prices to surge. Both sides want to block maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
It's a major waterway for global energy trade. When tankers can't travel through the strait, oil production around the world is disrupted. And when oil prices go up, gas prices typically go up within 24 to 48 hours. And the national average for a gallon of regular gas jumped seven cents in the last week.
PATRICK DEHAAN, GASBUDDY: Any small impact is going to have very big ripple effect on not just one country, but all of us.
SULLIVAN (voice-over): Patrick DeHaan with GasBuddy says the good news is he doesn't think prices will spike as high as they did in the spring.
