JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A new state park in southeastern Missouri is set to open July 30. Gov. Jay Nixon on Wednesday announced Echo Bluff State Park’s opening in Shannon County.

The park was previously called Camp Zoe but was renamed after a sheer bluff on the property.

The campground once hosted weekend rock music festivals. It was raided during a Halloween 2010 concert that prosecutors said featured drug dealers.

The previous property owner forfeited it to the federal government after being convicted on a drug charge. Missouri’s park system bought the property at auction for more than $640,000 in 2013.

The state park director had said the park system wanted to acquire the property for years.

The 430-acre park includes an Ozarks stream, a 20-room lodge, cabins, campsites and hiking trails.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City, Missouri, police say an officer shot and wounded a woman they say pointed a gun at them during a standoff in a car.

Police say the woman had threatened to harm herself and was found alone in a car with a gun Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say they were trying to negotiate with her when she emerged from the vehicle, pointed a gun at officers and was shot in the chest after failing to comply with police commands.

The woman was taken to a hospital, where her medical status was not immediately clear.

Police Capt. Tye Grant says that police had hoped to help the woman and that “she would have made a different choice, but ultimately we weren’t able to do that.”

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man arrested for drunk driving is getting out of the charge after using a new smart phone application to get legal help in the middle of the night.

The Iowa Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that Davenport police violated Craig Hermann’s right to an in-person consultation before forcing him to decide whether to submit to a breath test.

A West Des Moines law firm, Rehkemper & Lindholm, developed the “Oh Crap!” App to allow users to know their rights during traffic stops and other police encounters.

Attorney Bob Rehkemper says Hermann used the application’s “contact a lawyer” function to reach one of the firm’s associates after he was stopped. He says the ruling is the first documented case in which the app has helped a user avoid conviction.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis-area man has been charged with first-degree murder and other felonies after authorities say he fatally shot his 8-month-old son and sparked an intense manhunt.

St. Louis prosecutors brought the charges against 34-year-old Diata Crockett on Wednesday. He also faces charges of armed criminal action, domestic assault, endangering a child, unlawful possession and unlawful use of a weapon.

A St. Louis police investigator says in a court filing that Crockett and his wife were in a car Tuesday with three of their children when the wife said she wanted a divorce. The investigator says Crockett threatened his wife, she jumped from the car with the infant and he fired upon her.

Police believe Crockett likely was aiming for his wife when fatally wounding 8-month-old Reign Crockett.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri woman already accused of embezzling more than $300,000 from engineering firm Black & Veatch is now charged with stealing $1.2 million while on the job at Garmin International. A federal grand jury in Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday indicted 43-year-old Patricia Webb of Lee’s Summit on 23 counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.

Webb already was charged with embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from Black & Veatch while working there as a global payroll manager.

The new indictment also accuses her of stealing more than $1.2 million while previously working as a senior payroll specialist for the Olathe, Kansas-based Garmin between early 2012 and May 2014.

A message seeking comment was left Wednesday with her attorney.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri plans to merge with the abortion provider’s central Oklahoma affiliate in July.

The Kansas and Mid-Missouri affiliate announced the merger Wednesday. President and CEO Laura McQuade has been the central Oklahoma affiliate’s interim CEO since January.

The new, larger affiliate will be Planned Parenthood Great Plains. It will continue to operate eight existing clinics in the three states and announced plans to open a new one in July in northwest Oklahoma City.

The merger comes with all three states looking to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.

But McQuade said those actions against Planned Parenthood had nothing to do with the merger. She said the two affiliates have been in merger talks for a year and no staff will be laid off.

REPUBLIC, Mo. (AP) — A southwestern Missouri prosecutor says a police officer acted in self-defense when he shot and killed an unarmed man earlier this year and will not be charged.

Greene County Prosecutor Dan Patterson on Tuesday cleared Republic police Sgt. John Tinsley in the February death of 48-year-old Destry Meikle.

Patterson found that Meikle crashed his car into a garage and, after Tinsley responded to that accident, refused to comply with the officer’s commands and hit Tinsley with his vehicle, knocking him down. Patterson says Tinsley stood up, saw the again car lurch toward him and fired three times into the vehicle.

Destry Meikle’s mother, Mavis Meikle, has said her son was epileptic and might have been having a seizure when he reportedly hit Tinsley.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City Fire Department investigation attributes the deaths of two firefighters at least partly on the department’s culture of aggressive fire suppression.

The Kansas City Star reports that an internal report released Tuesday also cites a loose management style as possible factors in the October 2015 deaths of firefighter John Mesh and apparatus operator Larry Leggio.

The 71-page report says the firefighters were in an alley to protect a fire engine when a wall collapsed, killing the two.

Federal investigators are independently looking into the fire.

Thu Hong Nguyen operated a nail salon in the building and is charged with arson and two counts of second-degree murder in the case. She has pleaded not guilty.

DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say at least two people were critically injured and rural homes were damaged in Kansas amid severe storms that swept across the Plains.

A statement early Wednesday from the Kansas Adjutant General’s Office says the storms downed trees and power lines and damaged outbuildings and rural homes.

The statement says emergency management officials in Ford County reported two people were critically injured and taken to a hospital in Dodge City.

The National Weather Service will conduct damage surveys Wednesday.

His name was not immediately released.
