Tim Day, 44, was shot and killed by an armed bystander in the parking lot of a Walmart Supercenter in Tumwater, Washington, on Sunday. (Washington Department of Corrections) Newly released surveillance footage showed a gunman shooting his way into a locked ammunition case at a Washington state Walmart this past June, moments before he was shot and killed by armed bystanders. In the video, released to KING-TV by Tumwater police, 44-year-old Tim Day was seen firing a single shot to shatter the glass case before grabbing a box of ammunition and running into the parking lot. He tried to force his way into two other cars before running out of the frame. Day stole his girlfriend's gun before embarking on a violent rampage on June 17, investigators said. He initially tried to carjack a family at a gas station in Olympia, then was seen driving erratically before crashing his car into another vehicle in Tumwater. Day then tried to carjack at least two more vehicles, according

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins on Sunday slammed opponents' efforts to fundraise against her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, calling them nothing more than blatant ploys to buy votes in a future election. “They are asking me to perform an official act and if I do not do what they want, $2 million plus is going to go to my opponent. I think that if our politics has come to the point where people are trying to buy votes and buy positions, then we are in a very sad place,” Collins told CBS News' "60 Minutes." The political groups Be A Hero Team, Maine People's Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership had called out the senator before her vote, with a Crowdpac campaign titled: "Either Sen. Collins VOTES NO on Kavanaugh OR we fund her future opponent." The groups did not immediately comment on Collins' claims. Collins is not up for re-election until 2020. The campaign has raised more than $3.5 million and counting

'The Walking Dead' Season 9 premiered featuring the show's first big time jump. (AMC) “The Walking Dead” debuted its highly anticipated Season 9 premiere on Sunday and fans far and wide gathered around to see the completely new direction the show is taking. After ending the war with Negan and the Saviors on a bloody note, fans were told that Season 9 would jump ahead to the future where resources are scarce and our characters are even more tired from the rough world of the zombie apocalypse than they already were. [SPOILER ALERT: The remainder of this article will discuss Season 9, Episode 1 of “The Walking Dead.”] The premiere episode sees many of our heroes scattered between Alexandria, The Hilltop and the overtaken Sanctuary. Characters fans know to be from the Oceanside colony as well as Jadis from the Scavengers are seen as well. It seems that, following the war, everyone took up some kind of leadership position with Rick Grimes at the helm of everything.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday she will request that the government make public the FBI's supplemental background report into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, indicating the Democrats' fight against Kavanaugh is not over. In a letter to her Democratic colleagues, Pelosi said her Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request also would cover "transcripts of interviews, instructions from the White House, and any communications to the FBI from Senate Republicans regarding the scope of the investigation," production of which she said was "important to set the record straight." The Senate narrowly confirmed Kavanaugh's appointment to the high court on Saturday, days after the FBI completed its report. In her letter, Pelosi said Kavanaugh's confirmation "has wounded the very soul of justice in our country" and called it a "dark chapter." Democrats have complained that

Advocacy groups paid protesters opposing the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court to help create "viral moments," including the now-famous elevator confrontation of Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a top editor for Vice News claimed Sunday. Shawna Thomas, appearing on ABC News' "This Week," said a lot of protesters were "normal people who were mad" about Kavanaugh's nomination. However, she also added that "we also saw people who were organized." She singled out one of the women who confronted Flake on Sept. 28, saying that one of them worked for the advocacy group UltraViolet and "was paid" to "steer people in the right ways to be able to confront senators." When "This Week" host Jonathan Karl tried to clarify, Thomas added: "There were people who were paid by organizations like UltraViolet, to -- to try to harness that energy in a way that would make the viral moments that we ended up see

Louisiana's Zachary Fire Department announced its crew welcomed seven babies during the last 11 months. (Zachary Fire Department) A firefighting "family" in Louisiana "just got a little bigger," as members of the fire department have welcomed seven babies in the past 11 months. The Zachary Fire Department, located just under 100 miles northwest of New Orleans, posted photos of the bundles of joy to Facebook this past Wednesday. The department identified the babies as Harper Lord, Harrison Scout Walker, Luke Wilks, Gavin Zachary, Sydney Douglas, Heidi Anders and Cullyn Grace Phenald. While the department has reason to celebrate, it's not the first baby boom of its kind. Last month, Massachusetts' Revere Fire Department announced nine of its crewmembers had children within the past year. In June, Florida's Davie Fire Rescue tweeted it also welcomed nine babies, all within the previous 10 months.

Melania Trump shot back at critics Saturday, telling reporters she hoped people would talk more about her four-country trip to Africa and less about her fashion choices. "That's very important what I do, what we're doing with U.S. aid, and what I do with my initiatives, and I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear," she said, per the Associated Press. Trump, speaking to reporters in front of the Sphinx on Saturday, described her trip to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt as part of her signature "Be Best" initiative as "amazing." While in Egypt, she visited the Sphinx and the pyramids at Giza to view preservation efforts backed by the U.S. The U.S. Agency for International Development, for which President Trump tried to cut funding by 33 percent earlier this year, has spent several years working with the Egyptian government to lower groundwater levels to prevent erosion and additional damage to the landmarks, according to the AP.

Chase Elliott had been burdened by lofty expectations that come as the son of a Hall of Fame driver and the replacement of a four-time NASCAR champion. As the close calls and frustrating finishes mounted, and wins eluded him, the 22-year-old Elliott could feel the pressure tighten each time he slipped into the No. 9 Chevrolet. But once Elliott raced to his first Cup win, the second victory wasn't far behind, and now the Hendrick Motorsports star pegged as NASCAR's next most popular driver is thinking championship. "There isn't any reason why we can't make a run at this deal," Elliott said. Elliott stayed off pit road during a late caution and avoided similar disasters that struck the Stewart-Haas Racing drivers to pull away and win in overtime Sunday at Dover International Speedway. Elliott earned an automatic berth into the next round of the NASCAR Cup playoffs. Eight races after his first win at Watkins Glen, Elliott was back in victory lane again —

Sen. Mazie Hirono, left, said Sen. Susan Collins' reasoning for supporting Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination was 'insulting.' (AP, File) Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, criticized fellow senator Susan Collins' vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court Sunday, saying that Collins' rationale was "insulting" to accuser Christine Blasey Ford. "[Collins] said that Dr. Ford thinks that she was assaulted, which is even more insulting than saying that she gave a very credible account," Hirono told CNN's "State of the Union." Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a party when they were both in high school. Kavanaugh denied her claims and was confirmed by the Senate in a narrow vote Saturday. In a dramatic speech Friday announcing her support for Kavanaugh's confirmation, Collins said she believed Ford had been sexually assaulted but cou

Carrie Underwood is showing fans that she is proud of her famous scar. On Friday, the singer posted a throwback selfie on her Instagram page featuring an up close and personal view of her famous scar from a terrifying fall last November.  In the photo, the 35-year-old shows off her colorful face makeup from her “Love Wins” music video shoot. The singer captioned the image, “#FBF to filming the Love Wins music video,” with a YouTube link to the official video. For months after the star’s famous fall, which resulted in the singer needing 40-50 stitches in her face and surgery on her broken wrist, Underwood was reluctant to show her face in public and even avoided head-on photos on her social media. Finally in April, the star showed the first image of her face after the accident – a black-and-white profile image of the singer in the studio. She finally stepped back into the spotlight at the ACM Awards where she performed for the first time since her fall. Underwood opened about

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said Friday that she intends to vote “present” on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, so that Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., can attend his daughter’s wedding -- avoiding the need for a frantic flight to D.C. for the father of the bride. Daines will walk his daughter down the aisle in Montana on Saturday, shortly before the crucial Senate vote to confirm Kavanaugh to the nation’s highest court. Republicans appear to have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh, but the confirmation will come down to perhaps one or two key votes. ACTIVISTS TARGET SUSAN COLLINS AFTER SHE SEALS KAVANAUGH VOTE, CALL FOR HARASSMENT Daines, who has said he will vote “yes” to confirm Kavanaugh, was preparing to hop on a plane -- offered by longtime family friend and colleague Rep.

next Pope Francis prays in front of an icon of the Virgin and baby Jesus during an audience with pilgrims from Slovakia in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican, Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018. (AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia) VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has authorized a "thorough study" of Vatican archives into how a prominent American cardinal advanced through church ranks despite allegations that he slept with seminarians and young priests, the Vatican said Saturday. The Vatican said it was aware that such an investigation may produce evidence "that choices were taken that would not be consonant with a contemporary approach to such issues." But it said Francis would "follow the path of truth, wherever it may lead." The statement did not address specific allegations that Francis himself knew of sexual misconduct allegations against now ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick in 2013 and rehabilitated him anyway from sanctions imposed by Pope Benedict XVI.

Activists’ efforts to convince lawmakers to oppose Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh descended into calls for public harassment and accusations of being a “rape apologist” after the judge gathered enough votes to get confirmed on Saturday. Maine senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican who’s often a swing vote on issues, paved the way for the nominee to the Supreme Court. Sources told Fox News that the confirmation vote of Kavavanaugh is expected to begin between 3:30pm and 4pm Eastern Time. The whole procedure will take up to 20 minutes. In a fiery and lengthy speech on Friday, Collins explained her decision to support the Kavanaugh’s nomination, slamming the confirmation process that resembled a “caricature of a gutter-level political campaign” and said anti-Kavanaugh outside groups distorted the judge’s record with “over-the-top rhetoric.” COLLINS, MANCHIN SAY 'AYE,' APPEARING TO CEMENT KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION But in the wake of the unsuccessful bid to stop K

While the media have been fully fixated on the imminent confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, President Trump has once again proven his trade strategy is paying off. In case you missed it, President Trump has effectively replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he has promised to do since his election campaign, even though the institutional elites said this was impossible. In the final hours leading up to a U.S.-imposed deadline, Canada relented and agreed to join a new agreement that President Trump had negotiated with Mexico. As a result, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was born. All that is left now is for Congress and the legislative bodies of Canada and Mexico to sign off on the deal. This was a critical step in President Trump’s effort to bring fairness back into U.S. trade policies. I discuss this in my New York Times best-seller “ Trump’s America: The Truth About Our Nation’s Great Comeback .” This updated

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team on Friday began to seize the Trump Tower condo owned by former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The condo is among the four other listed properties in New York that the special counsel is seeking to seize, according to court documents. Three bank accounts and one life insurance policy are also the target of the forfeiture. The move comes after Manafort pleaded guilty last month to one count of conspiracy against the U.S. and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice after trying to tamper with witnesses. As part of the plea deal, Manafort agreed to forfeit multiple assets, including the condo and bank accounts. Prosecutors said in the court filing that the government would take control and custody on or after Oct. 20 of the Trump Tower condo and a luxury estate in the Hamptons. He will keep the properties in Florida and Virginia, where his family lives. The former Trump campaign chairman also admitted he laundered money and violat

The imminent confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will likely mean the dawn of a conservative high court for decades to come. The U.S. Senate is set to hold a final vote Saturday to confirm Kavanaugh as the next Supreme Court justice. While most Republicans and Democrats differ in their views on whether President Trump's pick should be confirmed, there’s a general bipartisan agreement that the nominee will swing the Supreme Court toward the right. COLLINS, MANCHIN SAY 'AYE,' APPEARING TO CEMENT KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION Kavanaugh will replace retired Justice Anthony Kennedy who, while being a Republican, acted as a swing vote and a gatekeeper of a more moderate high court and often sided with his liberal-leaning colleagues. The presumptive justice’s judicial record on a federal appeals court indicates he’s likely to align with the four other conservative justices, raising questions about what that will mean on issues such as federal regulatory power,

JACKSON, Miss. – After a Facebook post by a prominent University of Mississippi donor was denounced as racist, some professors say the university should rename its journalism school for an African-American journalist who crusaded against lynching. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was born a slave in Mississippi in 1862. She became an investigative reporter in nearby Memphis, Tennessee, and denounced racial violence. Ole Miss donor Ed Meek has asked that his name be removed from the journalism school after he posted photos of two black women last month and suggested property values could drop. A letter from 62 Ole Miss professors and several instructors and graduate students was published Friday in the student newspaper, The Daily Mississippian, suggesting the journalism school be named for Wells-Barnett. They also suggest starting journalism scholarships for black women.

Christine Blasey Ford testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee, in Washington, Sept. 27, 2018. Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford released a statement Friday from a friend of Ford's who says he is a corroborating witness to Ford’s sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh -- and criticized the FBI for not interviewing him. In a sworn statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Keith Koegler wrote that Ford told him in 2016, while they were watching their kids play together, that a federal court judge in Washington, D.C., had sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. “There are a minimum of 7 additional people, known to the White House, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the FBI who knew about the assault prior to the nomination who were not interviewed,” Koegler wrote of the limited FBI probe into the allegation. “I am one of them.” Ford’s revelation occurred around the same time when former Stanford University student

A photographer on Tuesday discovered three ducks and two geese with blow darts lodged into them at an Idaho Park. (Brian Rodenspiel) A photographer on Tuesday discovered three ducks and two geese with blow darts lodged into them at an Idaho Park. Brian Rodenspiel told the Idaho Statesman he was initially "mortified" when he spotted the animals in Julia Davis Park in Boise, but "knew that [he] was there to help them" because the situation felt personal to him. "Photographing waterfowl has given me so much joy over the years, so I often feed them corn as my thanks for letting me share in their world," Rodenspiel said. One of the geese has been transported to a rehabilitation center in the time since the animals were discovered. Attempts to capture the other animals will be made, a spokesperson said. (Brian Rodenspiel) Roger Phillips, a spokesperson for Idaho Fish and Game, described the situation as "certainly not good," and sa

National Security Adviser John Bolton speaks during a briefing at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) The Trump administration is implementing a new, government-wide counterterrorism strategy that places renewed focus on combatting "radical Islamic terrorist groups," marking a significant departure from the Obama administration, which implemented a series of policies aimed at deemphasizing the threat of Islamic terror groups. In releasing the first national counterterrorism strategy since 2011, the Trump administration is working to take a drastically different approach than that of the former administration, according to senior U.S. officials. While the Obama administration sought to dampen the United States' focus on Islamic terror threats, the Trump administration has made this battle the centerpiece of its new strategy. National Security Adviser John Bolton acknowledged in remarks to reporters Thursday afternoon

Filipinos stand beside the heavily damaged Mercure hotel after a massive earthquake and tsunami hit Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila) French rescuers said Friday they were unable to find the possible sign of life they detected a day earlier under the rubble of a hotel that collapsed in the earthquake a week ago on Indonesia's Sulawesi island. The five-member team from French organization Pompiers de l'urgence said late Thursday its life-searching sensor "detected the presence of a victim" under thick concrete in the wreckage of the Mercure Hotel in Palu. The device can pick up breathing and heartbeats, but the team also cautioned gas leaks and other factors can result in false positives. The team stopped digging overnight. But after an hour of searching Friday morning, team member Philip Besson said they couldn't find the signal again. "We strongly believed in it yesterday. Now we have nothing at a

Democratic congressman Beto O'Rourke said he’s “not interested” in an endorsement from President Barack Obama. (AP) Democratic congressman Beto O'Rourke said he’s “not interested” in an endorsement from President Barack Obama as he attempts to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz in the midterms. O’Rourke was speaking after a town hall at a local high school when he addressed the unsettling fact that Obama has endorsed 11 Texas Democrats, not including himself, T he Texas Tribune reported. “I don’t think we’re interested" in an endorsement, O’Rourke said. “I am so grateful to him for his service, he’s going to go down as one of the greatest presidents. And yet, this [election] is on Texas.” The congressman said that this isn’t the first time he’s run without a presidential endorsement. He beat Rep Silvestre Reyes in 2012, despite his opponent receiving endorsements from Obama and former President Bill Clinton, the paper said. “What that drove home for me is that someone els

NEW YORK – New York has a strong case that President Donald Trump ran his charitable foundation with disregard for state and federal law, the state's attorney general said Thursday in a new court filing. Attorney General Barbara Underwood is suing the foundation, saying it broke rules prohibiting charities from engaging in political activity. "The law is clear -- private foundations cannot use their funds for the personal or business benefit of their directors, and they cannot engage in political activities," the court filing argued. Trump's lawyers have asked a judge to dismiss the case, saying it was politically motivated. In its latest salvo, state lawyers reiterated their demand that Trump be barred from being involved in running any charities for 10 years.

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., says he'll be attending his daughter's wedding on Saturday -- and not participating in the vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. (REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst) Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., will not be available at any point on Saturday to vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Instead, he'll be at his daughter’s wedding, Fox News has learned. The absence of the senator – expected to support the embattled nominee’s confirmation – throws a wrench into the works as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., aims to push through Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court. The decision means McConnell would need to obtain all of his available 50 Republican senators to vote for the judge. It would also push Vice President Mike Pence out of the mix, as 99 senators would be voting and Pence can only settle things in the event of a tie. Under the new precedent established during Nuclear Option II on Supreme Court nominees,

Facebook's vice president of global public policy, Joel Kaplan, attended the Kavanaugh hearing last week. (Niall Carson/PA Images via Getty Images, File) Hundreds of Facebook employees have criticized a top executive after he attended Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's hearing last week in a show of support for the federal judge, The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday. Joel Kaplan, Facebook's vice president of global public policy, is a longtime friend of Kavanaugh, whose nomination has been threatened by sexual misconduct allegations dating from his time in high school and college in the early 1980s. Kaplan attended the dramatic Sept. 27 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in which lawmakers heard testimony from Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford. The Journal reported that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was asked about Kaplan's attendance at a weekly Q-and-A session with employees last Friday. Zuckerberg said tha

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh penned an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, decrying what he described as "vicious" attacks against him while admitting he "might have been too emotional" during his hearing on Capitol Hill last week. "I was very emotional last Thursday, more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times," Kavanaugh wrote. "I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad. I testified with five people foremost in my mind: my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all my daughters." AS KAVANAUGH VOTE LOOMS, GOP SEN.
