TODAY'S TOP STORY:
CARLSBAD (CNS) - A 20-year-old Carlsbad man was ordered to surrender his guns after authorities said he communicated with the teenage girl who committed a fatal school shooting in Wisconsin, allegedly expressing his own plans to carry out a deadly attack against a government building.
The Associated Press reported police and FBI agents went to the Carlsbad man's home on Tuesday night to seize his guns and ammunition after a San Diego Superior Court judge approved a gun violence restraining order.
Citing law enforcement notes in the GVRO, AP reported the Carlsbad man told FBI agents that he told 15-year-old Natalie "Samantha" Rupnow that he planned to arm himself with explosives and target a government building. Per the AP report, it was not specified which building was allegedly being targeted.
On Monday, 15-year-old Natalie "Samantha" Rupnow fatally shot a teacher and a student and wounded six other people at Abundant Life Christian School, in Madison, Wisconsin.
Rupnow was later found dead at the scene with what were believed to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

BREAKING OVERNIGHT:
(AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has abruptly rejected a bipartisan plan to prevent a Christmastime government shutdown.
Instead, he's telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate — days before a deadline when federal funding runs out.
Trump’s sudden decision Wednesday to make new demands sent Congress spiraling as lawmakers are trying to wrap up work and head home for the holidays.
It leaves Johnson scrambling to salvage a new plan, days before Friday’s deadline to keep government open.
“Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH,” Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance said in a statement.
Johnson met with Vance and GOP lawmakers late into the night at the Capitol.

The percentage of those on strike makes up a relatively small portion of Amazon's workforce of nearly 1.6 million.
Teamsters said Amazon failed to meet a Dec. 15 deadline for a new contract.
