OGDEN, Kan. (AP) — Police are investigating a death at a shooting range in Kansas.

The Manhattan Mercury reports that police and other emergency personnel responded Saturday night to a call at Ogden’s Best Guns and Gun Range. Witnesses said there was a gun-related incident inside the gun range area.

Riley County Police Department spokesman Matthew Droge says there wasn’t a robbery and that the public wasn’t in danger. No other details were immediately available.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It turns out this Congress did not produce the fewest laws since the days of Harry Truman. But it was pretty darn close.

Thanks to a late flurry of bill signings by President Barack Obama, the perpetually gridlocked Congress that just adjourned has had 286 bills enacted into law during its two years of work.

That’s according to congressional records. The number includes 51 that the White House says Obama signed Thursday.

The 286 laws barely exceed the 283 enacted by the previous Congress.

But both totals are the lowest in congressional records dating to the 1940s.

And the numbers pale compared to what Truman called the “do-nothing Congress” of 1947 and 1948. It saw more than 900 measures enacted.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts has finished a two-day tour of Iraq and says he’s seeing signs of progress in the fight there against Islamic State militants.

Roberts said Sunday that he left Thursday for his tour of Kuwait and Iraq “expecting the worst.” He went to visit American troops in advisory and training roles, including about 400 from the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, headquartered at Fort Riley.

The Republican senator told The Associated Press that he believes the situation in Iraq has changed dramatically since the summer, when the Islamic State group captured control of parts of northern and western Iraq.

He met Saturday with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and said al-Abadi has improved his military’s leadership and worked to unify Islamic groups in the past 100 days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The GOP is calling on supporters to buy a ticket to the movie “The Interview” if theater owners reverse their decision not to show the film amid threats of retaliation for its comedic take on assassinating North Korea’s leader.

The Republican Party chairman, Reince Priebus (ryns PREE’-bus), says in a letter to theater chain executives that he’s concerned that a foreign regime would be allowed to dictate the movies Americans can and cannot watch.

Noting that Hollywood and the GOP have had their differences, Priebus says the situation with “The Interview” is about freedom and free enterprise.

Priebus says he will ask Republican supporters to buy tickets “to show North Korea we cannot be bullied into giving up our freedom,” and suggests part of the proceeds go to military charities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed legislation renewing dozens of costly tax breaks for millions of businesses and individuals.

The bill signed Friday extends the breaks through Dec. 31. Taxpayers will be able to claim them on their 2014 income tax returns.

But the fate of the tax provisions beyond this year will again be uncertain.

Congressional analysts have estimated that the breaks will add nearly $42 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade.

The provisions benefit big corporations and small business, struggling homeowners and residents of states without a state income tax. More narrow provisions include tax breaks for filmmakers, racehorse owners and rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The bill includes a provision letting people with disabilities open tax-free savings accounts.

BOSTON (AP) — The Kennedy Presidential Library wants to remind the world that not even the threat of thermonuclear conflict can stop Santa Claus from making his rounds.

The library has republished the text of a 1961 letter from President John F. Kennedy reassuring a little girl who was worried about possible Soviet nuclear tests at the North Pole.

Kennedy’s letter to 8-year-old Michelle Rochon says he shares her concerns, not just for the fate of Santa but all people. The president added that he had talked to Santa just a day earlier and all is well.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum reissued the letter Friday as a holiday greeting on YouTube.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — About 45 people have marched through part of downtown Topeka to protest police violence.

The Topeka Capital-Journal  reports that the march began and ended Saturday just south of the Kansas Statehouse. Marchers chanted “No justice, no peace, no racist police.” Almost all carried signs, with some bearing the names of African-Americans killed by police officers.

Occasionally, passing motorists honked their horns in a show of support for the marchers.

The event was Topeka’s second tied to the police-related killings of Eric Garner, in Staten Island, New York, and Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. At least 80 people attended a Dec. 5 vigil at Washburn University’s Kuehne bell tower.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A congressional audit says the federal government isn’t fully prepared to handle a nuclear terrorist attack or large-scale natural catastrophe. It finds that the government lacks effective coordination and in some cases is years away from ensuring adequate emergency shelter and medical treatment.

The report by the Government Accountability Office was obtained by The Associated Press. It says the Federal Emergency Management Agency didn’t always keep track of disaster efforts by agencies, even after Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

The report says it would still take one to five years to develop a strategy to determine whether people were exposed to unsafe levels of radiation, and five to 10 years to plan for a full medical response.

Investigators said FEMA needs to set deadlines to ensure agencies fulfill the goals.
