Wal-Mart will start selling iPhones by the end of the year, but it is unlikely that they will be available in time to take advantage of holiday sales.

Of more importance, perhaps, is that the phone may be sold for its lowest price yet—$99.

The rumors started circulating last week that a partnership between Wal-Mart (nyse: WMT - news - people ) and Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) may be in the works, but Bloomberg confirmed today that employees at five California stores said that Wal-Mart will offer iPhones by the end of December, likely after Christmas.

Two of the representatives said the store will carry two models.

Bloomberg said analysts are suspecting that Apple may use the partnership to sell a discontinued 4-gigabyte version, which will allow it to hit what is considered a low price point for a smartphone.

Wal-Mart will be the second outside chain to be allowed to sell the device, following Best Buy (nyse: BBY - news - people ).

Currently, two models are for sale—an 8-gigabyte and 16-gigabyte version for $199 and $299.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suspected missile strike from a U.S. Predator drone killed at least four people at a house in Pakistan's North Waziristan region early Saturday.

The attack occurred in the Mir Ali subdivision in the village of Ali Khel, according to local political official Muhammad Nasim Dawar.

The names of the victims have not yet been released. It is also not yet known why the house was targeted.

Six people were injured in Saturday's attack, the fourth suspected U.S. strike on Pakistani soil in November.

Meanwhile, an explosion inside a mosque in northwest Pakistan's tribal region on Saturday killed three people and injured four others, a government official said.

The explosion happened just after 4 p.m. (6 a.m. ET), leaving the Hangu district mosque in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province in ruins, said Omer Faraz Khan, deputy superintendent of Hangu.

He said rescuers were trying to save people trapped under the debris. It was not immediately clear how many people were inside the mosque at the time of the blast.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson on Thursday to lodge a formal protest against another suspected U.S. missile strike on its territory, an act Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani called a violation of his nation's sovereignty.

Wednesday's strike in the Bannu region of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province left five dead and seven wounded Wednesday. That attack was further inside Pakistani territory than previous attacks.

The attack targeted a home outside the tribal areas that U.S. intelligence says have become a haven for Taliban and al Qaeda fighters battling U.S. and NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan.

The U.S. government has not acknowledged hitting targets within Pakistan, an ally in the war on al Qaeda launched after the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. However, Pakistan's government has repeatedly complained about the strikes.

Gilani took to the floor of the parliament and renewed his condemnation of the attacks Thursday, but added he thinks they will be controlled when President-elect Barack Obama takes office.

In October, the foreign ministry summoned Patterson to lodge a "strong" protest on continuing missile attacks and said they should be stopped immediately. At the time, a missile strike from a suspected U.S. drone on a compound in South Waziristan killed 20 people.

Pakistan's government said the attacks cost lives and undermine public support for its counterterrorism efforts.

The U.S-led coalition and NATO, based in Afghanistan, have been seeking a way to effectively battle militants who are launching attacks from Pakistan's swath of tribal areas along the border.

They have become frustrated with Islamabad over the years, saying it is not being active enough against militants, a claim Pakistan denies.

The United States is the only country operating in the region known to have the capability to launch missiles from drones, which are controlled remotely.

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - A suspect wanted for a shooting at Savannah State University is in custody and the campus is no longer on lockdown.

Police say the suspect, Devon McIntosh, was found by a police dog hiding inside the trunk of a car which was parked on campus.

The shooting happened sometime around noon and the campus was quickly put on lockdown.

According to campus officials, two students who knew each other, got into an altercation in the University Commons. One student pulled out a gun and shot the other one in the arm and abdomen. The wounded student was taken to the hospital and is in emergency surgery.

The campus was on lockdown for several hours as police searched for the shooting suspect, who was later identified as McIntosh. They say he has an apartment on campus which police have searched and located a weapon.  

Students on campus told WTOC they learned about the reported shooting through the campus alert system. Students can sign up for the alerts. The school put out text messages to students and sent voice mail messages to their dorm room phones.

The messages told students there was a report of a shooting in the Commons housing. They were urged to stay where they were on campus:

"SHOOTING CAMPUS SHOOTING REPORTED. CAMPUS IS ON LOCKDOWN. Keep doors closed and locked till further notice. Thanks for your cooperation."

One student WTOC spoke with was one of several hundred in SSU's student center. She told us, "Many students felt more secure with the campus on lockdown. We'd rather it be that way than people not caring about student safety."

She learned about the lockdown through other students on campus who had signed up for the school's alert system.

"I saw a lot of students walking around campus at first," she said. "Many were going back to their rooms."

Students and vehicles are now being allowed to leave.

School officials say Friday afternoon, evening and Saturday classes have been canceled.
