JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is pushing for a law to protect private businesses from lawsuits if they give preference to veterans in hiring or promotions.

Greitens spokesman Parker Briden says employers who favor veterans could face discrimination lawsuits under federal employment laws, but there’s an exception for states that pass their own laws allowing the practice.

On Thursday, police responded to a report that the children were placed in a trunk of a Volkswagen Jetta, the trunk was closed, and the car drove away. The video drew attention after it was posted to a social media site, though it was later removed.

Police responding to the area were unable to find the car.

Anyone with information is asked to call Olathe police.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A Missouri man suspected of stopping an Amtrak train in southwest Nebraska has been charged with terrorism.

Documents unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Lincoln say 26-year-old Taylor Wilson, of St. Charles, Missouri, has ties to a white supremacist group. He’s charged with terrorism attacks and other violence against railroad carriers and mass transportation systems. His attorney in a related state case didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press.

The eastbound train with about 175 people aboard halted early Oct. 22 in Oxford, Nebraska, about 45 miles north of Phillipsburg, Kansas.  Court documents say a Furnas County deputy sent to the scene found Amtrak employees holding Wilson. The deputy says he found a loaded handgun in Wilson’s waistband
