Prosecutors have charged the chief engineer of the cargo ship Dali in connection with the 2024 collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. They allege the engineer failed to notify the U.S. Coast Guard about hazardous conditions on the ship. The charge was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Maryland. The ship lost power twice and crashed into the bridge, killing six construction workers. The Singapore-based ship operator and another employee were indicted in May. A trial for the ship's operator and technical superintendent is set for October 2027. A $2.25 billion settlement was announced in April.

A man accused of shooting two National Guard troops near the White House, killing one of them, has pleaded not guilty to charges in a new indictment. Those charges would him eligible for a possible death sentence if he is convicted. Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal was arraigned Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder and 16 other counts in the new indictment. Lakanwal originally pleaded not guilty in January to charges in the November 2025 shooting that killed Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe. A grand jury in Washington originally charged Lakanwal in a nine-count indictment.
