Here are the top stories in Manchester today:

1. A Manchester felon was sentenced to three years in prison after showing off a gun on social media. Raheem Tyler, 24, will serve time in federal prison "for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon," U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young announced. Tyler had previously been convicted for a Manchester robbery. (Yahoo)
2. New charges will be filed against Kayla Montgomery for lying to a grand jury about the disappearance of her 5-year-old stepdaughter, Harmony. According to court records, Montgomery told investigators on June 3 that her husband killed Harmony. Adam Montgomery, 29, was charged with murder and witness tampering Monday for asking Kayla to lie to investigators about her step-daughter's death. (Manchester Ink Link)
3. What's happening at the Derryfield County Club this Halloween? On Saturday, Oct. 29, The Derryfield is having its Annual Halloween Monster Bash. Costumes are mandatory. Organizers say the party sells out every year, and it's almost here. (Eventbrite)
4. There were fewer drug overdoses in Manchester last month, American Medical Response (AMR) said. The city's ambulance service reported a 9 percent decrease in drug overdoses in Manchester since August. "Just under half" of the overdoses were "from individuals without any address." Manchester AMR spokesperson Chris Stawasz said,"Narcan is available in New Hampshire and anyone can seek treatment in the N.H. Doorway program by calling 2-1-1." (Manchester Ink Link)

In partnership with T-Mobile:

Nominate a local hero. Heroes aren’t just the people behind grand gestures and life-saving measures. They’re also folks from all walks of life who make things better in Manchester with small gestures, acts of selflessness, or just by showing up. We're working with our friends at T-Mobile to give thanks — and a bit of recognition — to some of these folks. So if you know a teacher, health care provider, veteran or someone else who's making a difference in Manchester, give them a shoutout! Just fill out this form, and we’ll do the rest, by following up and doing stories about them on Patch, so the whole neighborhood can celebrate how awesome they are.
