An Amtrak conductor was injured Tuesday morning when his passenger train collided with a semitrailer northeast of Denver, according to Colorado State Patrol. Amtrak Train 5 was traveling Tuesday from Chicago to the San Francisco Bay area when it hit the semitrailer east of Denver at about 6:30 a.m., spokesperson Marc Magliari said. The crash happened on an Interstate 76 frontage road near Roggen in Weld County, Colorado State Patrol spokesperson Gabriel Moltrer said. None of the 174 passengers on board was injured, Magliari said. Moltrer said one of the train conductors, a 40-year-old Denver man, was taken to the…

Tanner Gordon was not on a lot of bingo cards to be the Rockies’ best starting pitcher at the end of the 2025 season. But here he is, working with poise, efficiency, confidence and a killer changeup. Not to mention a bit of bravado. “The No. 1 thing I’ve been impressed with is his ability to pitch inside and not be scared to do it,” interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Tuesday before the Rockies hosted the Marlins at Coors Field. “His stuff plays off of that.” The 27-year-old Gordon, slated to pitch Thursday against Miami, doesn’t have impressive raw numbers…

Today is Tuesday, Sept. 16, the 259th day of 2025. There are 106 days left in the year. Today in history: On Sept. 16, 1982, the massacre of more than 1,300 Palestinian men, women and children at the hands of Israeli-allied Christian Phalange militiamen began in west Beirut’s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Also on this date: In 1810, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla called on his parishioners to join him in a rebellion against Spanish rule, marking the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence. In 1893, the largest land run in U.S. history occurred as more than…

Renck: Courtland Sutton’s stat line is like a Truth Social post by President Trump — all caps. He has seven catches in two games and posted a single reception in Sunday’s loss at Indianapolis. We figured teams would make life more difficult for Sutton after recognizing how dependent Bo Nix became on him last season. That’s where Evan Engram comes in to ease the burden. Well, maybe not. The Broncos have a No. 2 receiver in Troy Franklin, but do they have a No. 1? Should we be concerned about Sutton’s slow start? Keeler: Courtland was held more times against…

By WILL WEISSERT and JONATHAN MATTISE, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an order Monday sending the National Guard into Memphis to combat crime, offering another major test of the limits of presidential power by using military force in American cities. With Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee visiting the Oval Office, Trump said troops would be deployed and join a special task force in the city comprised of officials from various federal agencies, including the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Marshal’s service. He said the goal would be to stamp out crime in a way that…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said the U.S. military on Monday again targeted a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela, killing three aboard the vessel. “The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.,” Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing the strike. “These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests.” The strike was carried out nearly two weeks after another military strike on what the Trump administration said was a drug-carrying speedboat from Venezuela that killed…

The FBI in July began investigating social media accounts connected to the 16-year-old who shot two students and then himself at Evergreen High School last week, but did not identify the boy or take any further action before the attack, the agency confirmed Monday. The FBI “opened an assessment into a social media account user whose identity was unknown and who was discussing the planning of a mass shooting with threats non-specific in nature,” the agency said in a statement. “During the assessment investigation, the identity of the account user remained unknown, and thus there was no probable cause for…
