OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Kendra Horn, a moderate Democrat who pulled off one of the biggest political upsets in the 2018 midterm elections, announced Tuesday she's joining the race for Oklahoma's soon-to-be vacant U.S. Senate seat. Horn, 45, is jumping into an increasingly crowded field seeking the post held for more than 25 years by Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, who announced last month he plans to step down. "One of the primary reasons I decided to run is that I believe we need public servants, people who are going to reach a...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A 65-year-old man died after being arrested by Oklahoma City police officers investigating reports of a fight and shots being fired, police said. Charles Kim Moore died at a hospital where he was taken following an unspecified "medical episode" after he had been arrested without the use of force, according to a police statement on Tuesday. Police say officers were sent to the scene about 4 p.m. Saturday where they arrested and handcuffed Moore. Moore then suffered the medical event and the handcuffs were removed, police s...
OTTAWA, Kan. (AP) — A flock of birds in Franklin County in northeast Kansas have been diagnosed with avian influenza, better known as bird flu, federal and state agriculture officials said. The affected flock is a mixture of chickens, ducks and other birds on a home farm said Heather Lansdowne, a spokeswoman with the Kansas Department of Agriculture. The agency did not give more specific information about birds' location, the Lawrence Journal-World reported. The flock will be significantly reduced to prevent the spread of the disease. Nearly 7...
DETROIT (AP) — First came the beeping alarms and the dashboard lights warning that something had gone haywire. Then the driver's side windows suddenly and mysteriously rolled down. Kendall Heiman's Volkswagen SUV then pulled the scariest stunt of all: It abruptly braked for no reason. Heiman, a clinical social worker in Lawrence, Kansas, was driving her 15-year-old son to a class on Jan. 5 when her 2021 Atlas Cross Sport went bonkers. The malfunctions turned a normally routine two-mile round trip into a white-knuckle ordeal. "It literally f...
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A young boy who was killed in a three-vehicle crash in Wichita over the weekend has been identified by police. Police said Armani Saucedo, 9. of Wichita, died in the crash that happened around 10:15 p.m. Saturday, television station KAKE reported. Investigators said the crash happened when a car side-swiped two pickup trucks, causing the 27-year-old driver of the car to lose control and hit a bridge abutment. Armani was a passenger in the car and was thrown from it on impact with the abutment, police said. He was p...
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A major Boise hospital went on lockdown for about an hour Tuesday after far-right activist Ammon Bundy urged supporters to go the facility in protest of a child protection case involving one of his family friends. St. Luke's Health System put the Boise Medical Center on lockdown and began diverting incoming patients at about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday. "Safety is our top priority," the hospital said in a statement. "At this time, anyone in need of care should seek alternative health care providers and options. We ask that p...
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine said it saw possible room for compromise Tuesday in talks with Russia, while Moscow's forces stepped up their bombardment of Kyiv, and an estimated 20,000 civilians fled the desperately encircled port city of Mariupol by way of a humanitarian corridor. The fast-moving developments on the diplomatic front and on the ground came on the 20th day of Russia's invasion, as the number of Ukrainians fleeing the country amid Europe's heaviest fighting since World War II eclipsed 3 million. A top Ukrainian negotiator, p...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Bloom Raskin withdrew her nomination Tuesday to a position on the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors after a key Democrat had joined with all Senate Republicans to oppose her confirmation. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announced Monday that he opposed Raskin's confirmation, and all Republicans in the evenly-split 50-50 Senate had indicated that they planned to block her nomination for the position of the Fed's top banking regulator. Republicans have argued that Raskin would use the Fed's regulatory authority to d...
NEW YORK (AP) — Technology companies led stocks broadly higher on Wall Street Tuesday, as oil prices slid sharply for the second day and inflation worries ebbed. The market rally came a day ahead of the Federal Reserve's highly anticipated interest rate policy update. The S&P 500 rose 2.1%, ending a three-day losing streak, after a report showed inflation's rapid acceleration paused at the wholesale level last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.8% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 2.9%. The wilder action was in oil and A...

Police said at least two people were killed and three others wounded in the attacks.

The 30-year-old man, who lives in the Washington area, was charged Tuesday only in c...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Despite already enacting one of the strictest abortion bans in the U.S., Tennessee Republicans on Tuesday began advancing yet another anti-abortion measure strategically written to sidestep federal court challenges. The proposal is almost a direct copycat of legislation currently enacted in Texas, which not only prohibits doctors from performing abortion before most people know they're pregnant but also allows private citizens to file civil lawsuits against anyone who helps someone else get the procedure after six w...
PRZEMYSL, Poland (AP) — While over 3 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion, a small but growing number are heading in the other direction. At first they were foreign volunteers, Ukrainian expatriate men returning to fight and people delivering aid. Now, increasingly, women are also going back. Motivated by a desire to help loved ones in trouble, or to contribute to the defense and survival of their country and compatriots in ways large and small, these women are braving the bombs that have increasingly pounded Ukraine s...
Ratings agencies say Russia is on the verge of defaulting on government bonds following its invasion of Ukraine, with billions of dollars owed to foreigners. That prospect recalls memories of a 1998 default by Moscow that helped fuel financial disruption worldwide. The possibility has become more than market speculation after the head of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, conceded that a Russian default is no longer an "improbable event." A look at possible consequences from a Russian default: WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING RUSSIA...
