It’s been an intense week in the news world — the Boston Marathon Bombing trial reached a sentencing conclusion, a key ISIS figure was killed and there was a real life Sons-of-Anarchy-style shootout in Waco, Texas. Get caught up on what you need to know with the Weekly Briefing:

#3) Several people are dead after a biker shootout in Waco, Texas. At least nine people were killed and 18 wounded on Sunday, May 17, when a fight between rival biker gangs turned into a shootout. Taking place at the now-infamous Twin Peaks restaurant, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton has stated that the fight “quickly escalated from fists and feet to chains, clubs and knives before the shooting began.” After the shootout, police would eventually recover more than 100 weapons from the embroiled gangs. According to McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna, the tensions between the bikers had been on the rise and police “were on heightened alert in anticipation of trouble on Thursday nights, when Twin Peaks hosts a Biker Night.” Sgt. Swanton reported that none of the people killed or injured in Sunday’s shooting were police or bystanders.

#2) Key ISIS leader, Abu Sayyaf, was killed in a U.S. raid. that took place overnight, Friday to Saturday. Sayyaf was a senior ISIS commander who oversaw ISIS’s illicit oil and gas operations, said National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan. She also stated that Sayyaf “was also involved with the group’s military operations.” According to U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, Sayyaf was killed in a heavy firefight after resisting capture. Officials did capture Sayyaf’s wife, Umm Sayyaf, alive and she’s now held in Iraq. The raid also produced “reams of data on how ISIS operates, communicates and earns its money” and led to the successful rescue of a young Yazidi woman.

#1) Death by lethal injection — that’s what the jury of the Boston Marathon Bombing trial decided Tsarnaev deserves. The sentence has been handed down after a grueling court battle between the prosecution and defense, in which Tsarnaev’s team argued that his brother, Tamerlan, had been the driving force behind the attacks. Tsarnaev, who was 19 when he and his brother detonated pressure-cooker bombs at the Boston Marathon finish line two years ago, bowed his head when the sentence was read out. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch called it a “fitting punishment for this horrific crime” and stated that she “hope[s] that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families.” And while survivors like Sydney Corcoran lauded the sentencing, the Richard family remained subdued. The Richards lost their eight-year-old son, Martin, to the attacks and had recently published an editorial in the Boston Globe calling for a life sentence since a death sentence “would delay their emotional closure.” Tsarnaev will probably be transferred to a federal prison in Terra Haute, Indiana to await his execution, which could be years from now.
