Police say no leads found in Great Bend shootings
GREAT BEND — More than a month after two women were found dead inside a bakery, police say the investigation is slowing down with no arrest likely soon.
The bodies of Mandi Alexander, 24, and Mary A. Drake, 79, were found Sept. 4 inside the Dolly Madison-Cake Discount Bakery. Alexander was a clerk and Drake was a customer, police said.
Police have never said how the women died. A truck driver who found the bodies said they were in a back office in a pool of blood.
The bakery reopened Friday with four new security cameras.
Police are still seeking a man who was seen outside the store that evening.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the crimes.

Stepfather impregnates daughter with syringe
AKRON, Ohio — A man was sentenced to 20 years in prison yesterday for impregnating his teenage stepdaughter with a syringe of his own sperm.
John Goff, 41, quoted Bible verses and said he forgave the judge, police, prosecutors and his stepdaughter.
Goff was found guilty Aug. 29 of rape and other charges. He was convicted of breaking laws he and his wife had campaigned for after a man accused of molesting his stepdaughter was acquitted. In 1996, lawmakers expanded the rape law from only sexual intercourse to include penetration with any object.
Goff and his wife, Narda, artificially inseminated their daughter, then 16, in 1998.
Narda Goff, 43, was convicted in March and sentenced to three years in prison.

Kuwaiti gunmen injure two U.S. marines in attack
KUWAIT — Two Kuwaiti gunmen in a pickup truck attacked U.S. forces during war games Tuesday on an island in the Persian Gulf. The gunmen killed one Marine and wounded another before they were shot to death by U.S. troops. Kuwait called the assault a "terrorist act."
The Pentagon said the assailants pulled up to a group of Marines conducting urban assault training on
Failaka, an uninhabited island off Kuwait's coast, and opened fire with small arms. The assailants then drove to another site, stopped and attacked again before being killed by Marines.
Marines later found three AK-47s and ammunition inside the vehicle, according to a statement released in Washington by the Bahrain-based U.S. Fifth Fleet. It said the injured Marine was hit in the arm.
In a brief statement, the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry condemned the attack and identified the assailants as Anas
al-Kandari and Jassem al-Hajiri. Both were Kuwaiti civilians.
An Interior Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the two men as fundamentalist Muslims. More than 30 of their friends and relatives were detained for questioning, he said.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Daniel Hetlage said the Marines returned to their ships shortly after the attack, but would resume exercises on the island Wednesday.
