A jury found Lance Shockley guilty of a 2005 murder but deadlocked on the punishment. A judge in Carter County issued the death sentence.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe’s office submitted a waiver to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in late September to change the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The Missouri Department of Social Services says the goal is to implement the changes one year from now.

Students, teachers and administrators are learning to adapt this school year after Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed legislation in July that restricted the use of electronic personal devices during the school day.

The move comes as President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement practices are garnering increasing criticism.

The new map breaks the Kansas-City-based district of Democrat Emmanuel Cleaver into three in an effort to make it more Republican-leaning.

St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer’s office said FEMA is providing a lump sum and will cover 75% of eligible debris removal costs, with the state covering the remaining 25%.

In the bill text detailing Missouri's new congressional maps, one Kansas City precinct appears to be included in both the 4th and 5th districts. That would mean those voters would get to vote for two representatives in Congress. Gov. Mike Kehoe disputed that the voters have been allocated to two districts.

The request for help with federal immigration clerical, transportation and logistical tasks came from the Trump administration — notably the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense.
