OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha father wants the district to explain how his 5-year-old daughter could have been left on a school bus instead of being taken home.

Puol Nuor called police and the Omaha Public Schools transportation department after his daughter, Nya, still hadn’t been dropped off by the school bus Monday afternoon. He learned that the kindergartner had been locked inside a bus in a parking lot about 9 miles away.

A school district spokesman says Nya’s bus driver, who wasn’t identified, has been placed on administrative leave while authorities investigate.

Nuor says his daughter has cerebral palsy, a feeding tube and selective mutism. She’s now afraid to ride the bus.

Nuor says Nya stayed home from school Tuesday, and he took her there Wednesday.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis County police say an 11-year-old boy fatally shot a 16-year-old intruder during a home invasion.

Sergeant Brian Schellman says officers responded Thursday afternoon to a report of a shooting at a north St. Louis County home.

He says officers arrived to find the 16-year-old boy dead inside.

Police believe the teen made it inside the home on his third attempt to break in and say the 11-year-old shot him in the head.

Schellman says a 4-year-old girl was also inside. Neither she nor the 11-year-old was hurt.

Authorities have not identified the second suspect, who they say fled but was found a short time later.

Schellman says the children’s mother wasn’t home during the incident but is cooperating with an investigation.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Republican Eric Greitens has received a total of $700,000 from two big donors for a potential gubernatorial campaign.

Campaign finance records show California venture capitalist Michael Goguen recently gave Greitens $500,000 and Michigan-based commercial real estate company McKinley Associates gave him $200,000.

The contributions add to an already sizeable pot of money Greitens has raised for a potential 2016 campaign. Greitens had more than $1.1 million to spend at the end of June.

Greitens hasn’t formally announced his candidacy but is touring the state speaking with voters.

Greitens is a former Navy SEAL and author who founded a nonprofit group that helps military veterans serve their communities.

A spokesman cited Greitens’ status as a political outsider as part of the reason for his success in raising money.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — An Alabama man has been arrested on suspicion of committing a hate crime against Muslims in Columbia.

Boone County authorities say 29-year-old Randall Heath, of Salem, Alabama, was arrested Tuesday as he appeared in Boone County Circuit Court on a drunken driving charge.

Authorities allege that in June, Heath shouted anti-Muslim insults at four men who were walking to prayers at the Islamic Center in Columbia. The men said Heath circled the block four times and shouted insults. One of the men who confronted Heath in the vehicle was struck in the arm.

The same day, Heath was arrested when he failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breath test. He’s being held in Boone County jail on $4,500 bond.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Two St. Louis men face sentencing for planning a bomb attack targeting the Ferguson police chief and other officials after an officer killed Michael Brown there last year.

Olajuwon Davis and Brandon Orlando Baldwin pleaded guilty in June to felony counts of conspiring to use explosives and making false written statements while buying firearms. They are to be sentenced Thursday morning in St. Louis.

Their arrests during a sting investigation last November came days before St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch announced that a grand jury wouldn’t indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in the August 2014 death of 18-year-old Brown.

Davis and Baldwin admitted plotting to obtain explosives to use against McCulloch, then-Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson and other officers.

None of the potential targets was injured.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A nearly century-old cast iron sign that drew multistate interest for its historical significance during U.S. segregation has a new home after it was removed from a thrift store’s sales website.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the sign proclaiming “White Only” was taken down recently by the online sales site of St. Louis’ Goodwill.

Missouri History Museum spokesman Everett Dietle says that site will consider the sign for a St. Louis civil rights exhibit slated for 2017.

Goodwill spokeswoman Stephanie Flynn says the Michigan-based Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia had expressed interest in the sign dating to 1929.

The Goodwill site is run like eBay, where several similar “White Only” signs were for sale along with other historic markers. The signs are categorized as “black Americana” and “vintage.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials are working to close a loophole after learning that an ordinance barring hunting in city parks largely didn’t apply to a man who used his bow to kill three deer on land near Lake Zorinsky in western Omaha.

Steven Greise of Plattsmouth faced seven charges, which were dropped as part of a plea deal, for hunting in the park last October. Interim city prosecutor Tom Mumgaard says the incident showed the ordinance wasn’t as clear as it should be.

Now the Omaha City Council is considering an ordinance that would explicitly state that hunting is illegal in the city’s parks. The Omaha World-Herald reports that the city also plans to install “no hunting” signs in the parks.

City Council members are expected to vote on the proposal Tuesday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A low car titling fee likely prompted an out-of-state dealership to turn to the DMV in Nebraska for such certificates.  A Lancaster County Treasurer’s Office employee says LaBelle Chevrolet of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, has requested and received nearly 3,000 car titlessince February.

The Nebraska DMV charges just $10 per title, while Massachusetts charges $75.

Nebraska allows out-of-state companies to get newly purchased vehicles inspected outside of Nebraska and then have those inspection documents sent to DMV offices in Nebraska for titling.

The county doesn’t get to collect sales tax on the LaBelle vehicles it titles since they aren’t purchased or sold in Nebraska.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A suburban St. Louis man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for beating his father to death with a hammer.

Laderic McDonald of Richmond Heights was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and armed criminal action. He will be eligible for parole in 28 1/2 years.

Sixty-seven-year-old Felix McDonald was killed in May 2014 at an apartment building in St. Louis.

Court documents say his son attacked him with a hammer and strangled him.  Felix McDonald was found with wires around his neck, along with blunt force injuries to the head.

Police found a bloody hammer, Laderic McDonald’s bloody identification card and other evidence in a trash can at the father’s apartment.
