MEDICINE LODGE, Kan. (AP) — Oklahoma officials say a wildfire that started last week in northwest Oklahoma and expanded into Kansas is likely slightly smaller than originally thought.

Oklahoma Forestry Services said Monday a plane equipped with multiple GPS units estimated the total burn area at 574 square miles. The agency earlier estimated the size of the fire at 620 square miles.

Agency spokeswoman Hannah Anderson says the area mapped Monday is likely a more accurate portrayal of the fire’s size because it used more precise instruments.

As of late Monday afternoon, Oklahoma officials have not yet determined the cause of the fire.

Authorities say more homes were damaged than originally thought. The Kansas Adjutant General’s Office says nine Barber County homes were destroyed. Earlier estimates showed anywhere from two to six homes were destroyed in the county, which suffered the most damage in Kansas.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri court has struck down parts of a law meant to address concerns raised after the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson.

A Cole County judge ruled Monday it is unconstitutional to limit St. Louis-area municipalities to less traffic ticket and court fine revenues than cities elsewhere in the state.

The judge also struck down requirements for those cities’ police departments, including written use-of-force policies and procedures for reporting police stops. The ruling says those mandates are unconstitutional because the state doesn’t provide a funding source.

Local governments throughout the St. Louis region came under scrutiny following a Justice Department report citing Ferguson’s profit-driven municipal court system. Ferguson was not one of the twelve municipalities that sued to stop the law.

The Missouri attorney general’s office says it is reviewing the ruling.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The director of the Kansas City Sports Commission says the city could lose more than $50 million if voters approve a constitutional amendment that would allow Missouri business owners to cite their religious beliefs when refusing services for same-sex weddings.

Kathy Nelson, commission president and CEO, says the “religious freedom” amendment could hurt Kansas City for at least the next 10 years.

The amendment that would create legal protections for religious business owners who refuse to provide services for same-sex weddings. It has passed the state Senate. If approved by the House, it would be on the ballot later this year.

The NCAA has expressed concerns about the proposed amendment and suggested it could cost Missouri future opportunities to host athletic events.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri political insider accused of sexually harassing legislative interns is allowed into the Capitol again. A judge on Monday dismissed a case seeking to extend a restraining order that had barred David Poger from the Capitol.

House Counsel David Welch said authorities hadn’t been able to locate Poger to serve him with the protection order, which was issued after interns complained he made unwanted advances toward them.

Welch said the Legislature still will limit Poger’s access to the building by requiring him to notify Capitol Police before visiting and by prohibiting him from interacting with interns.

Poger’s attorney, Gaylin Rich Carver, said those restrictions are not enforceable. She said Poger has been treated more harshly than former lawmakers who resigned last year over allegations of inappropriate behavior with interns.

HICKMAN, Neb. (AP) — Lancaster County authorities say two people were cited after deputies caught them with a cooked goose, two more dead ones and 42 goose eggs.

The Sheriff’s Office says deputies found the two fishing Sunday at Wagon Train Lake near Hickman. The deputies spotted the cooked goose and then found the two other dead Canada geese and the eggs in the anglers’ vehicle.

The 40 eggs that weren’t cracked were turned over to Nebraska Game and Parks officials. The two were cited on suspicion of possessing Canada geese out of season, which ended in early February.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City woman charged with embezzling from the engineering firm Black & Veatch is being investigated after $1.2 million was embezzled from navigation device maker Garmin.

The Kansas City Star reports that 43-year-old Patricia Webb, of Lee’s Summit, was charged this month with embezzling more than $300,000 from Black and Veatch. She worked there as a payroll manager after a stint as a payroll team leader for Kansas-based Garmin.

Federal prosecutors say in court documents that the investigation into the Black & Veatch thefts led to the FBI discovering larger thefts from Garmin. No charges have been filed in connection with the Garmin case.

Her attorney, John O’Connor, didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press.

HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) — A 19-year-old man is now in custody after three people were shot inside a home in the northeast Missouri town of Hannibal.

Police took the suspect into custody just before 10 a.m. Monday.

The shootings happened about 1 a.m. Monday. All three victims — a woman and two men — are hospitalized. Their conditions are not known.

A witness told WGEM-TV the shooter walked into the home and began arguing with someone in the house, then took out his gun and shot the three victims.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal scientists say the chance of damaging earthquakes hitting east of the Rockies has increased significantly, much of it a man-made byproduct of drilling for energy. Oklahoma now has a 1 in 8 chance of damaging quakes in 2016, surpassing California as the state with the highest probability.

In a first-of-its-kind effort, U.S. Geological Survey Monday released a map for damaging quakes in the current year.

USGS seismologists said 7 million people live in areas where the risk has dramatically jumped for earthquakes caused by disposal of wastewater, a byproduct of drilling for oil and gas. That is mostly concentrated in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and Arkansas.

Natural earthquake risk also increased around the New Madrid fault in Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and Illinois.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials say a U.S. Capitol Police officer has been shot at the Capitol Visitor Center complex, and the shooter has been taken into custody.

The police officer who was shot was not believed to be seriously injured.

It occurred in the Visitors Center of the sprawling Capitol Complex. Staffers, reporters and others were told to “shelter in place” and not allowed to leave their offices. The White House and the Capitol complex were put on lockdown.

The events unfolded with Congress on recess and lawmakers back in their districts.

Capitol Police did not immediately return calls and no further information was available.
