Some people were back-to-school shopping [when gunfire broke out]( at a Walmart, leaving 22 people dead. An Indian reservation in Oregon has been without safe drinking water all summer. Nationally, the Indian Health Service has found Native people are nine times more [likely to lack access to safe water](.

Typhoon Lekima swept along the coast south of Shanghai, causing [hundreds of homes to collapse](.

[two churches image]( Sarah McCammon/NPR The Friendship Baptist Church in Appomattox, Va., has a sign out front that reads AMERICA: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. Pastor Earnie Lucas, who leads an all-white congregation, said he was talking about people in the U.S. illegally who "want to tear the place up." About two hours away, in Hopewell, Va., at a church also called The Friendship Baptist Church, Pastor Norwood Carson sees Lucas' sign as racist and says "to find out it came from a church just really took me for a loop." Carson hopes to talk to Lucas to try to understand more [about what motivated the sign]( and Lucas says he's open to the conversation. --------------------------------------------------------------- The Picture Show Near D.C.'s corridors of power, some choose the laid-back houseboat life. [House boat image]( Becky Harlan for NPR A stone's throw from the White House and the U.S. Capitol, there's an [oasis from the high-powered world]( of politicians, lobbyists and lawyers.

Now, Congress could create the first new military service in more than 70 years. - You can [see unicorns everywhere]( now.
