ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO. — Kieran Murphy, 57, of Florissant, Mo., was charged Wednesday with first-degree terrorist threat after authorities say he made a bomb threat to a hospital emergency room, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. The charge stems from an incident early Wednesday morning, Oct. 8, 2025, at approximately 4:30 a.m. at Christian Northeast Hospital. Law enforcement officials reported that a caller, later identified as Murphy, told hospital staff there was a bomb in the emergency room that he would remotely detonate.

CHICAGO - A federal judge on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025, temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from deploying more than 500 National Guard members to the Chicago area, citing a lack of credible evidence of a rebellion in Illinois. During a nearly three-hour hearing, U.S. District Judge April Perry challenged the Trump administration’s claim that there was a danger of rebellion in Illinois, particularly focusing on incidents at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, a Chicago suburb. “I see no credible evidence there is a danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois,” Perry said from the bench late Thursday. She also ruled that the administration violated the 10th Amendment, which grants certain powers to states, and the 14th Amendment, which assures due process and equal protection. The order is set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Oct. 23, with a telephone hearing scheduled for Oct. 22 to consider extending the injunction for another 14 days. Th
