Royals Q&A: Fans ask how team can end recent funk

Forty games in, approximately one-fourth of the way through the season, and the Royals are 20-20 after suffering a weekend sweep in Oakland. Let’s get this out of the way: It was a brutal weekend. Three one-run losses after holding early leads in each game. The quarter point in the season is when teams traditionally step back and take a hard look at themselves. And if Bob Dutton’s latest Q&A is any indication, fans are doing that, too.

Deuce Bello will transfer from Baylor to Missouri

Metheney, Zorn fathom distinctive languages

By not acting on Medicaid, Missouri legislature failed to help patients

“Missouri needs a Medicaid reform plan that brings the most value for our state, including returning our citizens’ hard-earned tax dollars from Washington and addressing the health care needs of Missourians,” writes Herb B. Kuhn of the Missouri Hospital Association. “Let’s focus on what we can accomplish.”

Jackson County prosecutors on Friday accused a 32-year-old man of shooting at a Kansas City police officer Thursday.

The officer’s partner fired back, but no one was hit.

Prosecutors charged Ralondo D. Wheeler of Kansas City with assault and armed criminal action in connection with an incident that started about 1 p.m. near 10th Street and Woodland Avenue.

The officers were working off duty at a housing project when one of them saw Wheeler, who allegedly was trespassing, according to court records. The officers approached Wheeler, who took off running. Wheeler allegedly fired repeatedly at one officer, who took cover behind a brick pillar. His partner fired at Wheeler.

Officers eventually arrested Wheeler near Eighth Street and Euclid Avenue. Police recovered a .357 revolver nearby. Wheeler is a convicted felon, court records said.
