CNN’s 5 Things brings you the news you need to know every morning.

Gas prices are falling fast, just as millions of Americans head to the polls. Some analysts say the national average could soon plunge below $3 a gallon for the first time since 2021. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her campaign’s “closing argument” Tuesday evening at the Ellipse in Washington, DC — the same site former President Donald Trump told his supporters on January 6, 2021, to “fight like hell” before they ransacked the US Capitol. Harris said next week’s election presents a stark choice for voters: “It is a choice about whether we will have a country rooted in freedom for every American — or ruled by chaos and division.” While addressing poignant issues for voters, Harris also sought to confront her biggest political weakness by saying major political figures need to stop using immigration as a wedge and rather see it as a serious challenge that needs solving. Harris said she will work across party lines to sign the border security bill she said Trump killed. An active shooter fired at least 15 gunshots through the walls and off the balcony of his apartment at a Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta during a standoff Tuesday before being taken into custody, police said. Officers were told that a 70-year-old suspect had been involved in an altercation with a hotel employee. After police attempted to get the suspect to come to the door of his room and peacefully surrender, he started firing with a handgun, shotgun and rifle, authorities said. The suspect eventually raised his hands, and a SWAT team went to his door and took him into custody. One officer and the suspect were taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. An Israeli airstrike on a multistory building in northern Gaza killed more than 90 people, including 25 children, according to Palestinian authorities. The US called Tuesday’s strike “horrifying,” and the UN said it was one of Israel’s deadliest attacks in nearly three months. Israel’s military said it was targeting a “suspected terrorist” and is “trying to understand” why so many people were in the area at the time. The strike came one day after Israel banned the United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees from operating in the country in a move that sparked an international outcry. Several displaced Gazans told CNN that the agency had been a lifeline for health care, education and food. Parts of southern and eastern Spain were hit by severe flash flooding on Tuesday as some areas received up to 12 inches of rain in just a few hours. At least 51 people have died and rescues are ongoing, the regional government of Valencia said today. The death toll is expected to rise as authorities said the current figures are “provisional.” Footage from the city of Valencia showed muddy water flooding through the streets, tearing down walls and sweeping away parked cars. Rainfall warnings will remain in effect across the country today, according to Spain’s Meteorological Agency, with the threat of heavy rain expected to continue through the end of the week.
