ST. LOUIS — Andre Montgomery feared his uncle in the days before his death, according to new details filed by prosecutors ahead of the trial of former reality TV star James "Tim" Norman, which starts today.

"TIM IS AFTER ME OR SOMETHING," Andre Montgomery texted his grandmother, according to court filings. "I'm not just bout to be sitting in STL when I know Tim got people looking for me."

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris says he's comfortable taking on more of a leadership role as he enters his second season, and his teammates seem to agree. Harris was voted one of Pittsburgh's five captains for 2022. It's a role Harris says he shied away from earlier in his life. The 24-year-old credits the help of his teammates and coaches for getting him prepared to take on more responsibility. Harris set a franchise rookie record by rushing for 1,200 yards in 2021. Harris and the Steelers start the 2022 season at defending AFC champion Cincinnati.

As the United Kingdom mourns a beloved queen, the nation is already wondering how King Charles III will reign and whether his monarchy will depart from the traditions of his mother. If his first full day on the throne is any indication, Charles seemed ready to chart at least a slightly different course. When the new king traveled to Buckingham Palace for the first time Friday, his limousine snaked through a sea of spectators then stopped short of the palace gates before Charles got out and shook hands with well-wishers. He looked more like a U.S. president on the campaign trail than the latest steward of a 1,000-year-old hereditary monarchy.

Oregon utilities began shutting down power to thousands of customers on Friday as dry easterly winds swept into the region, raising the risk of wildfire danger. Portland General Electric halted power in the Columbia River Gorge and around Mount Hood and a second power company was poised to do the same Friday. More than 40,000 customers will likely lose power in planned shutoffs as winds of up to 60 mph hit some areas. Authorities urged residents to charge cellphones and be ready to evacuate. Power shut-offs due to extreme fire weather, common in California, are new to the Pacific Northwest.

Khamzat Chimaev has missed weight for the main event at UFC 279. He came in 7 1/2 pounds over the welterweight limit, throwing his showdown with Nate Diaz into doubt. Chimaev is a Chechen-born Swede considered one of mixed martial arts’ top rising stars. But he weighed 178.5 pounds Friday morning at the UFC Apex Gym. That’s far over the maximum 171 pounds. The UFC didn’t immediately announce whether Diaz or Chimaev will stay on the pay-per-view card, either in two new bouts or against each other at a catchweight that would mean an enormous boost in pay for the 37-year-old Diaz.

A federal judge’s ruling in Texas has thrown into question whether millions of insured Americans will continue to receive some preventive medical services, such as cancer screenings and drugs that protect people from HIV infection, without making a copayment.

Jimmie Johnson says sponsor Carvana has agreed to fund next year’s racing endeavors. The seven-time NASCAR champion will use the next few weeks to determine his 2023 schedule. Johnson just a week ago said he was still seeking funding for a full IndyCar season. But he’s also impatiently awaiting IndyCar’s upcoming schedule because he wants to be part of NASCAR’s special project to take a Hendrick Motorsports entry to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He’s not closed the door on running another NASCAR race some day, and explained at Laguna Seca Raceway that he has multiple offers to compete in a variety of motorsports series.

Chase Elliott’s playoff opener was over early after NASCAR's regular-season Cup Series champion lost control of his No. 9 Chevrolet and was hit by Chase Briscoe last weekend at Darlington. The result was a 36th place finish and a big blow to Elliott's title hopes. But the 2020 champ only dropped from the top seed to ninth entering Sunday's race at Kansas Speedway. That is the second of three stops before the playoff field is whittled from 16 to 12. Elliott is still very much in the title hunt.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is stressing his country will never abandon the nuclear weapons and missiles it needs to counter hostilities from the United States. He accuses the U.S. of pushing a pressure campaign aimed at weakening the North’s defenses and eventually collapsing his government. State media said Friday that North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament also passed a law that requires North Korea’s military to “automatically” execute nuclear strikes against enemy forces if its leadership comes under attack. Kim also addressed domestic issues in his speech, saying North Korea would begin its long-delayed rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in November. He didn’t give specifics.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 9, 2022--

Pro Bowl defensive end Frank Clark returned to practice with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday and coach Andy Reid said he should be available when the defending AFC West champions open their season at Arizona. Clark missed Thursday’s practice with an illness. Reid also said he has not heard from the NFL about any potential disciplinary action for Clark, who pleaded no contest this week in Los Angeles to two counts of misdemeanor possession of an assault weapon from separate incidents last year. Clark was sentenced to one year of probation and 40 hours of community service.

Elvis. Elton John. Freddie Mercury. They’ve all gotten the biopic treatment. Now, it’s Weird Al Yankovic’s turn. “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” premiered early Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it is surely among the most absurd films playing. It's fittingly more a parody of a biopic than a sober portrait of the “White & Nerdy” singer and comedian. Yankovic co-wrote it and produced it. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Yankovic. Roku will release the film in November. Yankovic says it's a movie that “shouldn't exist” — and that's why it's funny.

So. Many. Hawaiian. Shirts. You wouldn't think it would be possible for there to be that many Hawaiian shirts somewhere in Toronto in September, but the world premiere of "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" on the first night of the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival was no ordinary night.

Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury became the second team in the professional era to repeat as U.S. Open men’s doubles champions, beating Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski 7-6 (4), 7-5. The top-seeded team joined the Hall of Fame duo of Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in 1995 and ’96 as the only teams to go back-to-back in New York since 1968. Salisbury ensured he will remain the No. 1 player in the doubles rankings with his 17th straight U.S. Open win, combining men’s and mixed doubles. Koolhof and Skupski, the No. 2 seeds, were playing at the U.S. Open for the first time as a team.

It's not just quarterback Russell Wilson who's a newcomer in Denver. The Broncos sport a rookie head coach in Nathaniel Hackett and three first-time coordinators in Ejiro Evero, Justin Ootten and Dwayne Stukes. They also have a new team president and new owners. Wilson swears he's not nervous for his Broncos debut Monday night in Seattle and Hackett concurs, pointing to his many years in the NFL as an assistant coach. Veteran kicker Brandon McManus welcomes all the fresh faces at Broncos headquarters and the team tries to snap out of a six-year playoff drought in 2022.

Russians have started voting in the country’s first election since the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February. Voters on Friday began casting ballots to elect more than 31,000 officials, legislators and local council members across the country’s 82 regions. Many opposition politicians have been barred from running in the three-day vote that takes place both at polling stations and online. While some prominent opposition politicians have been jailed or barred from running, over a 100 independent candidates are running for municipal councils in Moscow. Municipal councils, the lowest level of local governance with little real powers, have become important battlegrounds for Russian opposition politicians who have been cut off from competing in national races.

A bankruptcy judge in Delaware has approved a $2.46 billion Chapter 11 reorganization plan for the Boy Scouts of America, a decision that will directly impact more than 80,000 sexual abuse survivors

Backers of a campaign targeting a Colorado lawmaker who left the GOP and joined the Democratic Party have received the go-ahead to collect voter signatures in their bid to force a recall election. State Sen. Kevin Priola of suburban Denver cited his disgust with the Republican Party’s embrace of discredited 2020 election conspiracies when he announced his decision to switch parties in August. Colorado’s secretary of state’s office said Friday it had approved a recall petition and that petitioners have until Nov. 8 to collect enough signatures to force an eventual recall vote. Numerous assertions that the 2020 presidential election was stolen have been proven false.

ATLANTA — The investigation continued Friday into the deaths of two Cobb County deputies and the arrests of two suspects.

A federal judge in Florida has dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and former top FBI officials, rejecting the former president’s claims that they and others acted in concert to concoct the Russia investigation that shadowed much of his administration. U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks said in a sharply worded ruling on Thursday that Trump’s lawsuit, filed in March, contained “glaring structural deficiencies” and that many of the “characterizations of events are implausible.” A lawyer for Trump said he would appeal the dismissal.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says the state is stepping up its polio-fighting efforts after the virus was detected in the wastewater of yet another county in the New York City area. Health officials began checking for signs of the virus in sewage water after the first case of polio in the United States in nearly a decade was identified in July in Rockland County, which is north of the city. The latest detection involved a wastewater sample collected last month in Nassau County on Long Island, directly east of the city. The lone confirmed case in New York involved an unidentified young adult who was unvaccinated.

PHILADELPHIA — What is normally rush hour is approaching for the Atlantic hurricane season, but so far the tropical storm traffic has been eerily unimpressive, despite all those ominous forecasts.

Italian president Sergio Mattarella has joined a long list of officials voicing support for North Macedonia joining the European Union, together with other Western Balkan countries. “Without the entry of the countries from the Western Balkans ... the unification of the continent will not be completed,” Mattarella said Friday. He spoke at a press conference in Skopje with North Macedonia’s President Stevo Pendarovski. Six Western Balkan nations are at different stages on their paths toward membership of the 27-member EU. North Macedonia and Albania started membership negotiations in July, while Serbia and Montenegro have made the greatest progress. For all, the process is expected to take years. Nevertheless, it’s seen as important in diminishing Russian influence in the region.

A supporter of Brazil’s president used a knife and an axe to kill a backer of the main opposition leader after an argument about politics, weeks ahead of presidential elections, according to police. The killing occurred on Wednesday, the day of Brazil’s independence bicentennial, near the town of Confresa, Mato Grosso state, in Brazil’s central-west region, a stronghold of President Jair Bolsonaro. The 24-year-old suspect, who was not identified, killed Benedito Cardoso dos Santos, a 42-year-old farm worker who supports presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, police said. Da Silva, a former president, is the main challenger to Bolsonaro ahead of the vote on Oct. 2.

Hundreds of striking nurses have paused picketing as their union reached a tentative contract agreement with 13 of 14 nursing homes across Pennsylvania. SEUI Healthcare Pennsylvania announced Friday that bargainers have come to terms with nursing home operator Priority Healthcare, one day after a deal was reached with another operator, Comprehensive Healthcare. Contract details were not released pending ratification votes. A total of about 700 unionized workers at 14 nursing homes statewide went on strike Sept. 2 in a dispute over pay, benefits and staffing levels.

Indiana State receiver Dante Hendrix says he sees his team healing slowly since a car crash killed two teammates and injured two others two weeks ago. The wreck also killed another student 11 miles from campus last month. Hendrix says the team has talked about the emotions of loss and that getting back to football has also helped. The Sycamores won last week's season opener. They play at Purdue on Saturday seeking their first 2-0 start since 1986.

A North Carolina-based semiconductor company says it will build a $5 billion manufacturing plant in its home state to produce silicon carbide wafers. Wolfspeed Inc. announced on Friday that it plans to create 1,800 new jobs by the end of 2030 at a location in Chatham County. Wolfspeed could receive $775 million in cash incentives, infrastructure improvements and other sweeteners from North Carolina and local governments to build. The silicon carbide chips are emerging as a favored part for renewable energy products. The jobs announcement marked another big economic win for central North Carolina. Apple and Toyota are among the companies that are planning to build there.

When the Kendrick brothers met with their usual Hollywood movie studio contacts to distribute their latest picture, “Lifemark,” which came out Friday, the Christian filmmakers received a response they weren’t used to hearing: No thanks.
