Wife may take place of Carnahan in race
NATION

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A movement is under way among Missouri Democrats to install Gov. Mel Camahan's widow in the Senate seat he was seeking.
The appointment couldn't happen unless Missourians choose Mel Carnahan instead of incumbent Republican John. John Ashcroft.
Missouri's new governor, Democrat Roger Wilson, said yesterday he offered the Senate seat to Camarah's widow, Jean, if Miel Camarah receives more votes than Ashcroft Tuesday, Nov. 7.
The Carnahan-Ashroft race had been a statistical tie before an Oct. 16 plane crash that killed the governor, his son and a campaign aide.
Jean Camahan didn't immediately accept, but Wilson's spokesman said she'd consider the offer.
By then, it was legally too late to remove Mel Carnahan's name from the ballot.
Wilson acknowledged he was asking voters to take the strange step of voting for a dead man on Election Day.
Republican leaders said Wilson's announcement that he intended to offer the appointment to Jean Carnahan could be illegal under federal law that bars pledges of appointments to win votes in congressional races. They said a legal challenge was possible.
Jean Carnahan, 66, has never run for or held elected office.
Arizona teen surrenders after holding hostages
GLENDALE, Ariz. — An armed teenager briefly held a classroom full of children and a teacher hostage yesterday at his former elementary school before surrendering to authorities. No one was injured.
The former student at Pioneer Elementary School gave up after talking with members of a police SWAT team, police representative Matt Brown said. The standoff in the eighth-grade classroom lasted about an hour.
"He came here with a purpose, but thank goodness he didn't carry it out," Brown said.
Brown said the portable classroom was full when the student walked in with a 9mm handgun, but he gradually let students go. There were still several people in the room at the time the student surrendered.
He did not elaborate beyond saying the boy discussed the reason for his actions with authorities.
The school has classes for kindergarten through eighth grades, and the children involved were about 13 or 14 years old. Brown said.
