A three-story building collapses in New York City and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns. Amid the Chinese spy investigation. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia How. It's Thursday, November 12th. This is Evening Wire. Six people are dead in Washington DC after a man ended a shooting spree by taking his own life. The shooting started at about 8 a.m. in DC's Logan Circle neighborhood about a mile from the White House. The man shot a person at a gym and went on to kill four more people before locking himself in a seventh floor apartment of a nearby building. Officials say he shot himself while on the phone with police negotiations. Police say at least one more victim at the gym was left in critical condition. The shooting in one of DC's more popular neighborhoods has shaken many in the city. Here was Mayor Muriel Bowser reacting earlier today. I am very grateful to MPD and Fire and EMS who responded immediately, quickly and contained this situation. I know many DC residents were awakened to this news and were very scared and to all of the directors that MPD provided so we're grateful to them as well and MPD will continue to investigate this situation but this lone gunman has been contained. Search crews are digging through rubble in New York City after a three-story building unexpectedly collapsed on Wednesday. Daily Wire reporter Brecca Stoll has more. Hundreds of emergency personnel crawled over rubble Wednesday evening and Thursday morning searching for survivors. The collapse happened near the corner of Bedford and Flatbush in Brooklyn. An entire side of the apartment complex fell into a hole made by a construction crew working next door. The collapse left many apartments open to anyone looking on the sidewalk. New York City Mayor Zoram Mdani said that at least eight people were killed in the collapse including two children. At least 18 others were injured but officials aren't sure how many people were in the building at the time so those numbers could rise. The mayor praised first responders today. I want to thank all those who did not hesitate to help. Those who ran towards danger when this building collapsed and in the hours afterwards. Construction workers who had only barely survived themselves turned back and dug victims out of the rubble. People are alive today because of their heroism yesterday. Jensen Huang, one of the most influential tech leaders in the AI boom, stepped down as CEO and president of NVIDIA today. Huang resigned from the company he founded over three decades ago amid the fallout of an affair he had with an alleged Chinese spy. Huang also reportedly had a separate affair revealed yesterday with NVIDIA's vice president of healthcare. The disgraced tech titan led NVIDIA's rapid rise to the top of the tech industry and the stock market. NVIDIA has an estimated worth of $4 trillion earned by creating the most advanced chips powering artificial intelligence today. The company's executive vice president and CFO, Colette Kress, will take over as CEO until a replacement is found. California Democrat Ro Khanna, one of the loudest voices in Congress for banning congressional stock trading, is facing scrutiny over his recent sale of NVIDIA stock. A congressional stock trade tracker flagged the sale of a large portion of his NVIDIA stock just a few hours before the scandal involving the company's CEO was reported to the general public. Since Khanna's well-timed trade, NVIDIA has lost nearly half a trillion dollars in market value. Khanna claims that neither he nor his family made the trades directly, and that NVIDIA is not the only company that has lost half a trillion dollars in market value. Khanna claims that neither he nor his family made the trades directly, and that his investments are managed by his in-laws in an independent trust. Last year, those family trusts logged more than 5,400 trades for Khanna's $165.4 million portfolio.

The Democrat Senate candidate for Alaska, Mary Peltola, has lost a motion in court as ballots continue to be counted. Reporter Zach Jewell has the story. With still only 86% of the vote reported, Alaska is the final midterm Senate race yet to be called. With a current lead of just under 4,000 votes, Democrat candidate Mary Peltola filed a court motion demanding to be given a report on why certain mail-in ballots are not valid. The Democrat candidate for Alaska, Mary Peltola, was rejected. Alaskan Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews rejected the motion, calling it simply not reasonable. Matthews wrote, quote, even if the requests were otherwise considered reasonable outside the peak election time of year, it is simply not reasonable nor required right now. Although Peltola still leads the race, both major candidates are likely to remain under a 50% total, triggering Alaska's atypical ranked choice voting measures. After a final count is announced, likely not for another week, ballots cast for third party candidates will be integrated into Peltola's and Sullivan's totals if those voters selected them as a second choice option. Conservative commentator Scott Jennings is asking a federal court to dismiss the $72.5 million defamation lawsuit filed against him by leftist streamer Hassan Piker. Associate producer Garrett Van Team has the details. Piker sued Jennings over comments made on his radio show accusing the streamer of calling for Black voters to be lynched based on a video clip shared by the National Republican Party. Piker sued Jennings over comments made on Republican's senatorial committee. Piker claims the clip removed context, showing that he was sarcastically quoting another commentator. But Jennings' attorney argues the video accurately captures words Piker said and that interpreting their intended meaning cannot form the basis of a defamation claim. The motion also argues Piker, a public figure, cannot show Jennings acted with actual malice and cites the streamer's history of inflammatory remarks as reason Jennings had no reason to assume he was joking. Piker is seeking an explanation for Jennings' claim. Piker is seeking at least $27.5 million in compensatory damages and $45 million in punitive damages. And ex-climate activist Greta Thunberg sparked online backlash after laughing when she learned that the Fridays for Future protest movement she founded in 2018 was still holding demonstrations. During an interview for a new documentary, Thunberg appeared surprised to learn that the group was protesting in Berlin on the same day, asking, quote, is it before bursting into laughter and saying, really, they still do that? She and a friend continued laughing before Thunberg yelled, cut. The 23-year-old has since shifted much of her activism toward Gaza, including traveling on a so-called freedom flotilla to deliver aid. Critics online mocked her reaction with one writing, quote, climate was just the warm-up. Hating Israel is the real job. Those are your drive-home updates this evening.
