WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A communications professor at Wichita State University says she’s resigning because a law allowing concealed weapons on campus is “in opposition to the values of higher education.”

The Wichita Eagle reports that Deborah Ballard-Reisch submitted a letter to university President John Bardo on Monday saying she plans to retire July 1, the day the law goes into effect.

The Kansas 2013 law allowing people to bring guns into public buildings had given colleges until this summer to comply. As of 2015, Kansas no longer requires anyone carrying a concealed handgun to obtain a permit.

Republican state Rep. John Whitmer of Wichita says more than 100 colleges have accepted concealed-carry without incident.

Ballard-Reisch, who was robbed at gunpoint in 2014, says she and other gun violence victims have told administrators they feel scared with more guns on campus.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man accused of killing his girlfriend and setting her house on fire has been charged with murder.

Twenty-nine-year-old Dane Wright made his first appearance Wednesday in Sedgwick County District Court, where he heard the formal charges against him.

Prosecutors charged Wright with first-degree murder, arson and three counts of child endangerment.

Wright’s girlfriend, Reyona Caldwell, was found dead inside a burning home on June 2. An autopsy determined she was bludgeoned to death.

After an Amber Alert was issued for Wright and three children, the children were found in a south Wichita hotel. Wright was later arrested.

He is jailed in Sedgwick County Jail on $500,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 21.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say two Missouri men have been arrested in the theft of $5,000 worth of Pokemon cards.

Police allege the pair broke into a car last month in Springfield and stole a backpack containing 10 boxes of trading cards and accessories associated with the popular video game and animated television series.

A probable cause statement says the men were arrested at a movie and collectibles pawn shop where they tried to sell the cards.

The Springfield News-Leader reports neither man has been formally charged. Police say one man said he had nothing to do with the theft and thought it odd that his friend had Pokemon cards.

The cards belonged to a 25-year-old teacher who told the newspaper Tuesday that he runs an after-school club for Pokemon competitions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Boulevard Brewing Co. is planning a $10 million expansion in Kansas City.

The company has broken ground on a canning structure that will be adjacent to its brewery. The canning line will be capable of filling 350 12-ounce cans per minute.

The first beers canned in the new building will be current beers, such as American Kolsch, Heavy Lifting IPA, Unfiltered Wheat Beer and Tropical Pale Ale.

Boulevard brewmaster Steven Pauwels said in a statement that demand for the company’s canned beers has continued to grow since they were first offered in 2014.

Boulevard Brewing Co. is one of the largest specialty brewers in the Midwest.

HOUSE SPRINGS, Mo. (AP) — A park near St. Louis where a 14-year-old boy drowned last week is now closed while the safety of swimming there is under review.

Jefferson County authorities on Wednesday announced the temporary closing of Rockford Beach Park near House Springs. Devon Cotton drowned there while swimming in the Big River on May 31. His body was found four days later.

Jefferson County Executive Kenneth Waller says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will re-examine a dam of rocks to determine if recent flooding damaged it. The dam is intended to reduce strong currents.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man pleaded guilty to participating in a $235,000 arson and insurance fraud conspiracy.

Federal prosecutors say 43-year-old Joseph Levi Little pleaded guilty Wednesday. He is the third person to plead guilty in the scheme.

Tina Shonk, of Independence, was sentenced to three years and six months in prison. Roy Thieman, of Kansas City, was sentenced to one year and eight months. Shonk and Thieman were also ordered to pay about $243,000 in restitution and to forfeit about $62,000 to the government.

Prosecutors say in 2014 Shonk obtained renter’s insurance on a Kansas City house she rented. She and her co-conspirators burned the house and she made false claims on the insured property. She gave some of the insurance money to Little and Theiman.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Authorities say a badly decomposed body has been found wrapped in carpet in a trash bin in a St. Louis alley.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that police were called Wednesday after someone made the discovery in the Benton Park West neighborhood. The body appeared to be male, but the age and potential cause of death were unknown.

Police are investigating.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A rapper has started a college fund for a 6-year-old St. Louis boy who made an online plea for an end to violence.

Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton said Friday in an Instagram post that he was moved by Jeffrey Laney. A video of the boy saying he was “really scared to die” and “really scared for my family to die” has received more than 200,000 views since his mother posted it to Facebook last month.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the rapper praised Jeffrey as “brave” and said he “would be scared too.”

Besides the college fund, Pusha T is giving Jeffrey an iPad, books and toys. He’s also paying for Jeffrey and the boy’s cousins to spend a day at Six Flags and to attend summer camp.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Police are investigating a fatal shooting outside a Springfield bank.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that police spokesperson Lisa Cox says the shooting happened about 4 p.m. Wednesday outside of a Commerce Bank branch. The victim was taken to a hospital, where he died. The man’s name wasn’t immediately released.

Cox says the suspect hasn’t been caught. The suspect is currently at large and the shooting did not appear to be random.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Texas man has been found guilty in federal court in Missouri of smuggling human growth hormone to patients, including professional wrestlers.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in St. Louis says 57-year-old George Patino of Houston was convicted Wednesday of conspiracy, distributing HGH for unauthorized medical purposes and smuggling.

Federal prosecutors say Patino sent packages of HGH to a St. Louis-area doctor and his patients in 2014 and 2015. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says court documents say patients included St. Louis-area professional wrestlers and athletic trainers.

Prosecutors say the HGH came from a Korean manufacturer not approved to sell in the U.S.

St. Louis County Dr. Michael Mimlitz pleaded guilty last year to one count of distributing misbranded drugs. He was sentenced to probation, fined $30,000 and agreed to forfeit $59,500.
