Two men are dead in a shooting at a military base in San Antonio, Texas, authorities said.

The attack at Lackland Air Force Base, a part of Joint Base San Antonio, appears to be a murder-suicide, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office spokesman James Keith told MSNBC. The base said in a statement that there were no indications it was related to terrorism.

The gunfire was reported at about 8:40 a.m. local time, and when police and security officers arrived, they found the victims dead in an office in a building known as Forbes Hall, authorities said. Two Glock firearms were found at the scene.

Either the pope’s U.S. visit is drawing in viewers or people have really missed Brian Williams, who returned to television Tuesday after a six-month suspension for lying about various reporting experiences, including coming under fire in a military helicopter in Iraq.

MSNBC enjoyed its highest-rated day on Wednesday since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in June, the network announced in a statement, bringing in 518,000 total viewers and 93,000 viewers in the coveted 25-54 age demographic. Wednesday’s coverage was up 15 percent in total viewers from the previous day, and up 67 percent from the previous four weeks.

The news offers early validation for the rebranding effort currently underway at MSNBC, which has suffered from low ratings over the past year. Earlier this month, MSNBC President Phil Griffin characterized the shift as a “focus on live, breaking news in the daytime and smart, informed analysis and opinion in primetime.”

It may soon become commonplace to see people with robotic exoskeletons or bionic eyes.

Scientific research into bionic human parts has advanced impressively in recent years, driven by improvements in computer science, shrinking electronic components, and a growing understanding of the nervous system. 

Some of these devices are simply meant to help people regain normal functions — like eye implants that provide sight for the blind. 

But other researchers, particularly those interested in military technology, are looking for ways to make humans bigger, better, and stronger.
