A law enforcement official says a gunman who died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s Cincinnati office appeared to have posted calls on social media for FBI agents to be killed and for people to take up arms in the wake of the search at Donald Trump’s home. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The gunman, 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer, was killed on Thursday.
Author Salman Rushdie has been attacked as he was about to give a lecture in western New York. An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storm the stage Friday at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced. The author was taken or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained. Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verses” has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous. A year later, Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death. Iran has also offered over $3 million in reward for anyone who kills Rushdie.
Health officials say the virus that causes polio has been detected in New York City’s wastewater weeks after a case of polio was identified north of the city. The city and New York state health departments said Friday that the presence of the poliovirus in the city’s wastewater suggests likely local circulation of the virus. State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett says the detection of poliovirus in wastewater samples in New York City is alarming but not surprising. Officials are urging people to get vaccinated against polio. Polio was once one of the nation's most feared diseases. The disease mostly affects children.

Capping an extraordinary week in Donald Trump’s post-presidency, a New York judge ordered Friday that his company and its longtime finance chief stand trial in the fall on tax fraud charges stemming from a long-running criminal investigation into Trump’s business practices. Manhattan Judge Juan Manuel Merchan scheduled jury selection for Oct. 24 in the case, which involves allegations the Trump Organization gave CFO Allen Weisselberg more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation, including rent, car payments and school tuition. Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty. Weisselberg is the only Trump executive charged in the yearslong criminal investigation started by former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.
Stocks are rising again at the start of trading on Wall Street, putting the S&P 500 on track for its first four-week winning streak since November. The benchmark index is 0.9% higher in midday trading Friday , and other indexes are up similar amounts. Technology and communications stocks has some of the biggest gains. Energy companies lagged the market as crude oil prices fell. Stocks spurted this week after reports showed inflation cooled more than expected last month. That raised hopes a peak in inflation may be near and the Federal Reserve may be less aggressive in raising rates than feared.
