CIMARRON, Kan. (AP) — A federal transportation official says investigators looking into the derailment of an Amtrak passenger train in southwest Kansas plan to review rail conditions and other factors.

Amtrak’s Southwest Chief was carrying more than 140 people when several rail cars derailed early Monday. Authorities say the accident happened moments after an engineer noticed a significant bend in a rail and applied the emergency brakes. At least 32 people were hurt, two of them critically.

Local authorities are checking whether a vehicle crash may have damaged the track before the accident.

National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener said investigators will review data from cameras and recorders on the train as well as the condition of the rails and crew performance. He put the train’s speed at the normal limit of 60 mph.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis police continue to investigate after a gunman pulled down the pants of a teenager and shot him, before leaving with the victim’s pants, duffel bag and cellphone.

The shooting happened Saturday in broad daylight. The 18-year-old victim is hospitalized in stable condition. No arrests have been made.

Police say the victim was walking when the gunman approached from behind and pulled down the teenager’s pants before shooting him in the abdomen, removing his pants and running to a getaway car with the pants, phone and bag.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Democrats are continuing to slow down the Senate after Republicans passed a measure creating protections for some people who have religious objections to gay marriage.

Sen. Scott Sifton on Monday asked staff to read all 20 pages of the Senate’s journal, an action that is normally waived after a few seconds but instead took nearly an hour. Afterward, Democrats moved to change the journal — further delaying action.

Minority party Democrats used the same tactics last week to slow down Senate work after majority Republicans halted a 37-hour filibuster and forced a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment. That measure would allow some individuals and business owners to cite sincere religious beliefs while declining to provide wedding-related services to same-sex couples.

That proposal is now in the House.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill says she’s returning to work after breast cancer treatment.

The Democratic senator told reporters Monday that she has received a good prognosis.

She spent three weeks in St. Louis receiving treatment, including surgery to remove a lump and some surrounding tissue. McCaskill said the cancer was detected early through a regular mammogram.

McCaskill said the treatment provided “a really good time for me to refocus on some of the things that are really important in life.” She said she spent a lot of time with her husband and did a lot of reading.

McCaskill is backing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Missouri’s Democratic presidential primary Tuesday. McCaskill said the cancer treatment prevented her from actively campaigning on Clinton’s behalf.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita lawmaker’s bill would roll back a tax exemption for business owners in order to reduce sales tax on groceries.

Republican Rep. Mark Hutton’s bill is scheduled for a hearing Tuesday before the House Taxation Committee. It would remove the income tax break for owners of limited liability companies and other pass-through businesses.

The Kansas Department of Revenue says that action would raise about $261 million. That would allow the state to lower the sales tax on groceries between 2.6 percent and 2.9 percent.

Hutton led a coalition last year that tried to remove the same income tax exemption. That effort stalled when Gov. Sam Brownback threatened to veto any bill that contained that provision. Brownback has made similar comments this session.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon says he will lead a trade delegation to Israel next week.

The governor announced Monday that he plans to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former President Shimon Peres on his weeklong trip to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Nixon also is to meet with Boeing executives and companies specializing in bioscience and software engineering. He plans to attend Easter services at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

Senate Minority Leader Joe Keaveny, House Majority Leader Mike Cierpiot (SEER’-poy) and House Minority Leader Jake Hummel will join the governor on the trip.

Israel will mark the fourth country Nixon has visited in 2016, following trips to Colombia, Peru and Panama.

His travel costs are paid by the nonprofit Hawthorn Foundation.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police are investigating a report that two college students were attacked by a man shouting racial epithets and the name of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Wichita State University student body vice president Khondoker Usama, who is Muslim, said he and a Hispanic friend witnessed a white man calling a black customer a racial epithet at a convenience store.

Then the man turned on him and his friend.

Usama said he was pushed, and that his friend was punched and kicked. Usama said the man then rode away on his motorcycle, after circling them and shouting Trump’s name. A police report says the friend suffered a bruised lip.

Police Lt. Jeff Gilmore told The Wichita Eagle that officers are seeking surveillance video from the store.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis jury has awarded $5.2 million in a wrongful death and personal injury lawsuit filed over a fatal tent collapse at a sports bar near Busch Stadium.

Jurors awarded $2.4 million to the family of Alfred Goodman, who was killed when wind gusts of up to 50 mph knocked over a tent beside Kilroy’s Sports Bar on April 28, 2012.

The verdict was announced Monday.

The jury also awarded $2.8 million to be divided among seven others injured in the collapse, who joined Goodman’s family in the lawsuit alleging negligence on the part of bar owners.

An attorney for the bar owners says the storm came on so suddenly there was no time to warn patrons.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Mother Teresa will be made a saint on Sept. 4.

Pope Francis set the canonization date Tuesday, paving the way for the nun who cared for the poorest of the poor to become the centerpiece of his yearlong focus on the Catholic Church’s merciful side. The announcement was expected after Francis in December approved a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa’s intercession — the final hurdle to make her a saint.

Mother Teresa died in 1997.

The Catholic Church requires two miracles or sainthood. Mother Teresa’s first miracle, curing a woman’s brain tumor, was recognized by Pope John Paul II in 2003. Pope Francis in December 2015 officially recognized the healing of brain abscesses in a Brazilian man as her second miracle.

Biography.com notes that she was born on Aug. 26, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia. She taught in India for 17 years before deciding to work with the poor in 1946. She founded the Order of Missionaries of Charity, an all-female congregation dedicated to helping the poor.

Mother Teresa taught in India for 17 years before she experienced her 1946 “call within a call” to devote herself to caring for the sick and poor.

PORT JEFFERSON, N.Y. (AP) — A government official says an engineer noticed a significant bend in a rail ahead and hit the emergency brakes before a passenger train derailed in western Kansas.

The U.S. official who was briefed on the investigation into the early Monday derailment of the Amtrak train says the train appears to have been travelling at about 75 miles when the engineer pulled the emergency break, slowing the train.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing federal probe.

Amtrak says 32 people were taken to hospitals for treatment and that 29 had been released by late morning. The train was travelling from Los Angeles to Chicago.
