LANSING, Kan. (AP) — State investigators are probing what they’re calling a homicide at the Lansing Correctional Facility. Kansas Bureau of Investigation officials said in a news release Saturday that the facility contacted the agency around 9:30 p.m. Friday to report the suspicious death of an inmate. Investigators determined that a 25-year-old inmate called guards to his cell about 8:30 p.m. that night. There they found 62-year-old inmate Gary Raburn dead Friday. He appeared to have been strangled, KBI officials said. An autopsy is pending. KBI officials said a suspect has been identified but released no further information.

That warning is setting up a big and messy fight for the annual session of the Kansas Legislature set to open Monday. The Kansas Water Authority is telling lawmakers that Kansas needs to break sharply with its decadeslong policy of slowing depletion while still allowing water levels…

The league is changing the rules for the postseason to accommodate the cancellation and will hold a special meeting Friday to ask teams to vote on a resolution recommended by Commissioner Roger Goodell and approved by the competition committee Thursday night. Goodell said in a statement that the hope is to “limit disruption across the league and minimize competitive inequities,” adding later: “The proposal we are asking the ownership to consider, however, addresses the most significant potential equitable issues created by the difficult, but necessary,…
