- Federal agents on Monday searched the home of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a startling escalation in a criminal investigation that brings renewed focus to the frequent target of Trump administration derision in the final weeks of her reelection bid.
The search of the Minnesota congresswoman's home so close to next month's midterm contests that will determine control of the House and the Senate was swiftly condemned by top Democrats in Congress, who raised questions about the timing given longstanding Justice Department protocol to avoid overt investigative steps involving political candidates in the direct run-up to an election. Omar, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, said she was being targeted as one of the Republican's “political enemies.” #News

- Six Flags temporarily closed nine roller coasters across six amusement parks on Monday, Oct. 12 after one man died and several others were injured in an incident involving a coaster in Georgia.
Officials did not confirm how the person died, nor how the others were injured or their medical conditions after the incident at Six Flags Over Georgia, about 15 miles northwest of Atlanta. However, witnesses told WXIA, an Atlanta TV station, that a man had been ejected from the Goliath roller coaster, bouncing off the coaster three times.
"He was in our pictures," a witness told WXIA of souvenir photos from the ride. "He fell and hit the car three different times." He said the man's body hit others on the ride before falling onto the roof of a haunted house attraction below.
Cobb County Police Department major crimes unit detectives are investigating. #News #SixFlags
