Investigation continues in ambulance killings
EDWARDSVILLE — As the investigation into the shooting deaths of two emergency medical workers continued yesterday, grieving families and coworkers began making funeral arrangements.
Katherine Malone, 30, and Tye Brown, 31, both of Shawnee,
were shot to death Saturday at the station in Edwardsville where they were based. Malone's ex-husband, Matthew Bass, 37, of Mission, had been charged with two counts of first-degree murder before authorities discovered that he had committed suicide.
Eric Dooley, a spokesman for Metropolitan Ambulance Service Trust, an ambulance service for the two-state Kansas City area, said yesterday that Bass was waiting for Malone and
Brown when they returned from a medical call shortly after midnight Saturday.

CHICAGO — Very young children who watch television face an increased risk of attention
For every hour of television watched daily, two groups of children — aged 1 and 3 — faced a 10 percent increased risk of having attention problems at age 7.
The findings bolster previous research showing that television can shorten attention spans and support American Academy of
Pediatrics recommendations that youngsters under age 2 not watch television.

Texas mother acquitted in deaths of her two sons
TYLER, Texas — A woman who claimed God ordered her to bash in the heads of her sons was acquitted of all charges by reason of insanity Saturday after
a jury determined she did not know right from wrong during the killings.
A jury found that Deanna Laney was legally insane May 9 when she killed her two older sons, ages 6 and 8, in the front yard and left the youngest, now 2, maimed in his crib. Laney, 39, would have received an automatic life sentence had she been convicted of capital murder.
