Tsunami warnings were in effect for parts of Hawaii and Alaska, Russia’s Kamchatka’s Peninsula and the Pacific coast of Japan.

Following up: What we're learning about the suspect in the Midtown Manhattan shooting
We're continuing to learn new details about the possible motive behind the shooting inside a New York City high-rise.
Police say 27-year-old Shane Tamura traveled more than 2,000 miles from Las Vegas to carry it out, killing four people and injuring another before dying by suicide.
Anyssa Bohanan is continuing to follow our coverage this morning and has more on Tamura's connections to Las Vegas.
Learning more about the victims of the Reno shooting
We're learning more about the victims of a deadly shooting in Reno earlier this week. Three men were killed and three others were injured in what police are calling a random, unprovoked attack.
One of the men killed, Andrew Canepa, was a father and co-owner of the Side Street Cafe in Newbury Park, California. He traveled to Lake Tahoe with friends to celebrate what should have been a joyful weekend.
Matthew Sitler, 33, from Thousand Oaks, was shot twice. Miraculously, he survived. Doctors say the bullets missed his vital organs but tore through his spleen and broke several ribs.
The suspect, who has not yet been identified, was taken into custody and is now hospitalized in critical condition. Police say they have no known connections between the shooter and the victims and still don't know why this happened.
