Hello, readers of NBC News.
Another tragic shootout left two dead and four injured – this time at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte on the last day of class.
Here is what we are looking at elsewhere today.
Mueller expressed his "frustration" over how his report was summarized
Special advocate Robert Mueller wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr in which he complained that a four-page summary of his investigation lacked context and created public confusion.
In the letter and a subsequent phone call between the two men, Mueller stated that Barr's letter to Congress on the report's key findings did not fully capture the contents of this over 440-page document.
"He expressed his frustration at the lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the obstruction analysis of the special council," said a spokeswoman for the Justice Department.
The revelation comes as Barr is scheduled to testify about the Wednesday investigation before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Barr is expected to announce to senators that the Justice Department's work on Mueller's investigation into Russia's allegations of interference in the 2016 election are over, according to prepared statements released late Tuesday. .
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said that he had found Mueller's letter to Barr "very strange".
"It's the worst day in the history of the UNC Charlotte"
The last day of classes at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte has ended on a horrible note.
Two people were killed and four others wounded during a shootout on campus Tuesday afternoon, officials said.
A suspect was charged with two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder.
"It's the worst day in the history of the UNC Charlotte," said Philip Dubois, Chancellor of the University. "It really shakes us deep within us."
Clashes in Venezuela as the opposition leader calls for action and the government calls it a "coup d'etat"
Venezuela is in a state of chaos and confusion after Tuesday's violent clashes.
Opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, has called for mass anti-government protests and military defections, announcing what he called the "final phase" of an operation aimed at to remove President Nicolás Maduro from office.
The Maduro government denounced these actions as an "attempted coup d'etat".
Some of the clashes were violent. Protesters used tear gas and rubber bullets. Local media broadcast a video of what appeared to be a military vehicle crushing the protesters.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo expressed his support for the opposition, telling Lester Holt of NBC News that the United States had been working on a diplomatic and political solution for months.
Guaidó returned to social media Tuesday night and called for more protests.

Biden is the king of the hill. Bernie can knock him out?
Joe Biden has a unique moment in his three candidacies for the presidency.
The former vice president has recorded the largest total of first-day fundraisers among the many candidates for the Democratic nomination. He then took a considerable lead in the national polls.
His departure stronger than expected could cause trouble to his Democratic rivals, writes Jonathan Allen in NBC News, in an analysis.

Stimulate local journalism
Born in Manhattan and raised in the national press for much of his career, Andrew Lack would appear to be an unlikely figure behind an attempt to revive the troubled local newspaper industry in Mississippi.
The president of NBC News and MSNBC has quietly been the key person at Mississippi Today, an online news site that has been in business for three years.
This is an experimental approach to journalism in search of traction during a difficult period of compression of local news.

A funny thing
The Indian Army says it has found footprints in the Himalayas that seem to belong to a Yeti – yes, you read that right.
Others were not so sure.
Molecular biologist Ross Barnett said that if DNA samples were collected, they could potentially be analyzed to determine what type of creature would have left the footprints in the snow.
But he was also convinced that the observations of yeti would continue.
"You can not kill a legend with something as trivial as facts," Barnett said.
