Lake Stevens Man Charged in Fatal Racing Crash on Highway 9
A 23-year-old man from Lake Stevens, Quinton Rummelhart, has been charged with vehicular homicide for allegedly racing at over 100 mph before crashing into and killing 83-year-old Nancy Merz. The crash occurred on Highway 9, where Rummelhart's Infiniti sedan struck Merz's Honda CR-V, causing fatal injuries.

U.S. on High Alert for Potential Iranian Attacks in the Middle East
The U.S. is on high alert for potential significant attacks from Iran or its proxies in the Middle East, possibly occurring this week. This comes after accusations that Israel assassinated a Hamas leader in Tehran, which has heightened tensions. In response, the U.S. has increased its military presence in the region. Israel, already tense after recent missile attacks and retaliations, is preparing for possible Iranian-backed assaults. Oil prices have surged due to concerns about a broader conflict, as Israeli forces continue operations in Gaza amid international calls for a ceasefire.
