missile, and the payload, the explosive. the last time they tested a nuclear weapon was in 2017 before that, groupings every three or four years. it was about that time they might be considering another nuclear test underground to go along with their missile tests. >> very concerning thanks for breaking that douchblt. in pittsburgh, two young men are dead at least nine are injured after a mass shooting there. gunfire broke out at a house party at an airbnb rental. police say they're looking for multiple shooters. up to 200 people attenem were u. in addition to those wounded by the gunfire, several were hurt trying to escape there were also minors that were hurt they have not been identified yet. the suspect in a south carolina mall shooting has been released from jail he's now under house arrest
