Local Lee's Summit man to face murder charges in Lawrence
LAWRENCE'—A Missouri man who crashed his car into another vehicle while being pursued by police must stand trial for murder in the death of the other driver, a judge ruled.
Nam Ouk Cho, 19, showed "extreme indifference" to human life during the Aug. 26 chase, in which he drove through city neighborhoods at more than 100 miles per hour, said prosecutor Dan Dunbar during a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Douglas County District Court.
The chase ended when Cho, of Lee's Summit, Mo., slammed into a car driven by Judith Vellucci, 56, of Lawrence. Vellucci died at a hospital where a police detective also interviewed Cho, who waived his right to remain silent and described the chase.
Cho's trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 9. The judge also set a hearing for Oct. 31 on whether Cho made his statements at the hospital voluntarily.

Carbon monoxide scare evacuates Salina motel
SALINA — Several dozen people were evacuated from a Salina hotel and a family was hospitalized after a carbon monoxide leak, authorities said.
Deputy Salina Fire Chief Steve Moody said an ambulance was called Tuesday night to the Holiday Inn Express after a child playing in the hotel's swimming pool passed out. The children's siblings and parents also weren't feeling well.
he said carbon monoxide levels began rising in the pool area after the pool's heater malfunctioned. Fumes from the pool room eventually entered the hotel's duct system.
Fire crews measured carbon monoxide levels of 1,600 parts per million in the pool area, a level that can lead to death within an hour, Moody said. The family had been in the pool area about 20 minutes when the child got sick.

What's up with the Credit/No Credit option?
