Deadly violence on American highways is causing fear among drivers, with attacks on freeway drivers on the rise in certain areas. A sniper in Kentucky wounded five motorists, a teenager in Colorado killed a woman by throwing a rock through her windshield, and a family in New Mexico was pursued by a motorist with guns blazing on the Navajo Nation. The Georgia State Election Board is set to vote on a controversial measure that would require hand counts of election results before certification. Israel’s military carried out air strikes against Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, leading to fears of escalation in the conflict. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing federal sex crimes charges in New York, pleading not guilty and potentially facing a grand jury indictment. In sports, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers made history by becoming the first player in MLB to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season. Ohtani’s achievement puts him in a league above past members of the 40-40 club. The best photos from the 2024 MLB season capture Ohtani celebrating with fans and Aaron Judge hitting a grand slam against the Red Sox.
