TOPEKA — Legislation designed to make Kansas schools safer from gun violence has passed a House committee. The bill endorsed by the Appropriations Committee on Monday would require schools and state agencies to establish guidelines for fortifying schools against armed threats.

On Monday’s In Focus, Brady and Dave look back on the weekend and the passing of Manhattan/Aggieville businessman Bernie Butler, note an interesting international headline and provide an update on when the Fort Riley booms may be coming to a pause.
It wasn’t pretty. As a matter of fact, it was downright ugly. But it’s a trip to the Sweet Sixteen all the same. Behind a strong finish by forward Xavier Sneed and stifling defense, No. 9 Kansas State beat No. 16 UMBC, 50-43, to advance to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. It was the first-ever matchup between a 9-seed and 16-seed. Both teams appeared flustered by the big stage for much of the game, turning the ball over a combined 35 times. But K-State did more with the extra opportunities than UMBC did with theirs. Barry Brown led…

K-State marches to the Second Round for first time since 2012 Entering Saturday’s NCAA Tournament opener against 8-seed Creighton, Kansas State guard Mike McGuirl had scored 13 points this season. He chose a nice time to double that number — and then some. McGuirl scored a career-best 17 points, K-State played sterling defense on an offensive juggernaut and the 9-seed Wildcats advanced to the Round of 32 with a 69-59 victory in Charlotte. K-State (23-11) led wire-to-wire, allowing a few small Creighton runs, but was never threatened down the stretch. The Wildcats put a stranglehold on the game with an…
