Today is Sunday, Sept. 18, the 261st day of 2022. There are 104 days left in the year.

On Sept. 18, 2020, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a towering women's rights champion who became the court's second female justice, died at her home in Washington at the age of 87 of complications from pancreatic cancer; her death set off a battle over whether President Donald Trump should nominate a successor, or the seat should remain vacant until the outcome of the election six weeks away. (Trump would nominate Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed by the Republican-led Senate days before the election.)

In A.D. 14, the Roman Senate officially confirmed Tiberius as the second emperor of the Roman Empire, succeeding the late Augustus.

In 1793, President George Washington laid the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol.

In 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, which created a force of federal commissioners charged with returning escaped slaves to their owners.

In 1851, the first edition of The New York Times was published.

In 1947, the National Security Act, which created a National Military Establishment and the position of Secretary of Defense, went into effect.

In 1961, United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold was killed in a plane crash in northern Rhodesia.

In 1970, rock star Jimi Hendrix died in London at age 27.

In 1975, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was captured by the FBI in San Francisco, 19 months after being kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army.

In 1987, the psychological thriller "Fatal Attraction," starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, was released by Paramount Pictures.

In 2001, a week after the Sept. 11 attack, President George W. Bush said he hoped to "rally the world" in the battle against terrorism and predicted that all "people who love freedom" would join. Letters postmarked Trenton, N.J., that later tested positive for anthrax were sent to the New York Post and NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw.

In 2005, "Everybody Loves Raymond" won the Emmy for best comedy in its final season; first-year hit "Lost" was named best drama.

In 2014, voters in Scotland rejected independence, opting to remain part of the United Kingdom in a historic referendum. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews, Scotland, ended years of male-only exclusivity as its members voted overwhelmingly in favor of inviting women to join.

Ten years ago: Chicago teachers voted to suspend their strike and return to the classroom after more than a week on picket lines, ending a combative stalemate with Mayor Rahm Emanuel over evaluations and job security.

Five years ago: Hurricane Maria intensified into a dangerous Category 5 storm, surging into the eastern Caribbean on a path that would take it near many of the islands recently devastated by Hurricane Irma. Toys R Us, the pioneering big box toy retailer, announced that it was filing for bankruptcy protection, but that it would continue its normal business operations. (The company announced in March of 2018 that it would be liquidating its U.S. business.)

One year ago: Police were deployed in large numbers outside the U.S. Capitol over concerns that a rally in support of jailed Jan. 6 rioters would turn violent; the crowd for the rally was sparse, and there were few incidents. Four space tourists safely ended their trailblazing three-day flight to orbit with a splashdown in the Atlantic, off the Florida coast; the all-amateur crew – a billionaire and his three guests - aboard the SpaceX capsule was the first to circle the world without a professional astronaut.

SHAWNEE COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas felon after a violent altercation with a police officer.

Just after 2 p.m. Friday, an officer stopped a suspicious person walking along the road near SE 23rd and SE Minnesota for having an open container of beer, according to Police Sgt. Gene Dixon. During the stop, the man gave multiple fake names interfering with the officer’s investigation. 

Once the officer could identify the man’s true identity as 45-year-old Kevin N. Teeter Jr., the officer discovered that Teeter had multiple felony warrants for his arrest.

When the officer attempted to take Teeter into custody, Teeter drew a large “Samuraistyle knife,” causing an officer in danger call to be broadcast. The officer pulled out his weapon, and Teeter dropped the sword and ran into the backyard of a nearby house.

A struggle ensued between Teeter and the officer in the backyard. Teeter grabbed a brick and confronted the officer with it. Assisting officers arrived and used less-lethal beanbag rounds in an attempt to disarm Teeter. 

Police eventually took Teeter into custody. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries, according to Dixon.

After he was medically cleared, detectives interviewed Teeter and then booked into the Shawnee County Department of requested charges of Two counts of Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer, Felony Interference with a Law Enforcement Officer, Fugitive from Justice, Outside Agency warrant, Violate offender registration act.

Teeter has previous convictions for rape, aggravated sexual battery and for drugs, according to the Kansas Dept. of Corrections.

KANSAS CITY, Kan.&nbsp;—&nbsp;Following its first loss in 113 days, the Kansas City Current (9-5-5, 32pts, 1st place) return to Children’s Mercy Park Sunday for one of the clubs most significant matches to date. 

The Current square off with the Portland Thorns (8-3-7, 31pts, T-2nd place) in a match that holds significant postseason implications and could help to determine the winner of the NWSL Shield. 

Sunday’s matchup will stream on Paramount+.

Wednesday, Kansas City’s 13-match unbeaten streak came to an end in a 4-0 road loss to the Chicago Red Stars. A rotated Current squad managed to out-shoot Chicago 12-8, but Kansas City couldn’t quite find a goal. The shutout loss snapped&nbsp;<a>the Current’s</a>&nbsp;13-match scoring streak, which coincided with the team’s unbeaten streak. Chicago forward Mallory Pugh managed two goals and an assist in the Red Stars’ victory.

Portland has not played since Friday, Sept. 9, a 2-0 road triumph over the Orlando Pride. After peppering Orlando’s goal throughout the opening half-hour, the Thorns broke through in the 31st minute with a well-worked goal by forward Yazmeen Ryan. Orlando threatened to equalize, but Portland eventually doubled its advantage in the 65th minute with an outside-the-box strike from midfielder Hina Sugita.

ALL TO PLAY FOR Coach Potter, LaBonta and midfielder Desiree Scott spoke about the importance of not letting one loss define the team as just three matches&nbsp;<a>remain</a>&nbsp;in the 2022 regular season following Wednesday’s loss. Fortunately, Kansas City won’t have to wait long for another opportunity to bounce back from Wednesday’s loss and start a new streak.

Kansas City welcomes the Thorns Sunday for the second time in the 2022 regular season. The Current and Portland previously met April 30, the first match of the regular season and the Thorns won 3-0. Now, nearly five months since that meeting, Kansas City and Portland sit in first and second place, respectively, in the NWSL standings. The Current have just three matches remaining in the regular season while the Thorns have four, placing further emphasis on a positive result from Kansas City’s perspective.

While Kansas City can’t build on its impressive unbeaten streak Sunday, it can make club history with a positive result. The Current are 0-4-1 all-time against Portland in all competitions and have scored just one goal on Portland in five meetings. If the Current are to separate themselves from a congested NWSL table by weekend’s end, bouncing back with a strong performance against Portland is a must.

DEFENSIVE SHUFFLE In the 90th minute of Wednesday’s loss, Ball picked up a yellow card that ultimately proved costly. One of the stalwarts of the Current’s defense in 2022, the caution marked Ball’s fifth booking of the season, meaning she will receive a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Ball has appeared in every single one of the Current’s regular&nbsp;<a>season</a>&nbsp;matches and had started 10 consecutive matches before Sunday.

Potter has a few options for replacing Ball in the center of the Current’s defense. Defenders Taylor Leach and Alex Loera are candidates, though each played 45 minutes against Chicago. Notably, Kristen Edmonds also played 90 minutes against both Chicago and Gotham Sunday. Rookie defender Jenna Winebrenner made a substitute appearance in her first match action since returning from injury in August.

LOOKING BACK AT THE STREAK Even though Kansas City’s unbeaten streak came to an end Wednesday, head coach Matt Potter’s squad went on a truly historic run that sent shockwaves through the NWSL.

After the Current lost 1-0 to OL Reign May 25, the team sat in 11th place in the NWSL standings with a record of 0-4-1. Over the next 13 games, Kansas City earned 31 points, won nine matches and allowed just 14 goals. All those figures ranked first in the NWSL, which contributed heavily to the Current’s ascent to first place in the league for the first time in franchise history.

Several Current players have put together impressive individual seasons in 2022, with their performances largely coinciding with the team’s unbeaten run. Midfielder Lo’eau LaBonta and forwards Cece Kizer and Kristen Hamilton have all scored a franchise-record six goals and goalkeeper AD Franch picked up her 40th career shutout in the team’s 1-0 victory over NJ/NY Gotham FC September 11. LaBonta and Franch were named to both the July and Aug. NWSL Best XI of the Month, while defenders Elizabeth Ball (August), Hailie Mace (July) and Kristen Edmonds (July) also received monthly honors.

The Current’s 13-match unbeaten streak stands as the second-longest unbeaten streak in NWSL history. The team’s five-match road winning streak, snapped with Wednesday’s loss, was tied for the longest such road winning streak in league history.

MAKING HISTORY, BUILDING THE STANDARD The Kansas City Current officially launched season ticket deposits for the first stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional soccer team Tuesday morning. Fans can place a deposit and learn more at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kccurrentstadium.com/" target="_blank">KCCurrentStadium.com</a>.

The best way to reserve a seat at the stadium in 2024 is with a new stadium membership. A new stadium membership provides access to all preseason, regular season and NWSL Challenge Cup matches played by KC Current at the new stadium (beginning in the 2024 NWSL season), as well as exclusive year-round member-only events and benefits that will be announced later.&nbsp;Deposits are open for seats in the supporter’s section, general reserve, club seating and premium suites, and are fully refundable.

Demand for season ticket memberships in the new stadium is expected to exceed capacity therefore, seat selection will be subject to availability. To guarantee seats for games in the new stadium, it’s encouraged to become a 2023 Current Season Ticket Member at Children’s Mercy Park to secure seat selection priority.

PLAYERS TO WATCH Kansas City Current defender Alex Loera&nbsp;— Loera should play a major part in assisting to keep the Thorns’ offense at bay Sunday. The rookie has been a crucial part of Kansas City’s rotation in 2022, making 17 appearances, 15 starts and totaling over 1,400 minutes played. Defensively, she’s recorded 32 clearances and made 19 interceptions. With just 45 minutes played in the Current’s last two matches, Loera should play a significant role Sunday.

Portland Thorns&nbsp;<a>forward</a>&nbsp;Sophia Smith&nbsp;— Portland forward Sophia Smith is the leader of a Thorns offense that has scored 39 goals entering Sunday’s match, the highest total in the NWSL. A United States Women’s National Team regular, Smith went on a torrid run in which she scored eight goals in five appearances spanning from June 8 through Aug. 5. Smith ranks second in the NWSL Golden Boot race, four behind league leader and San Diego Wave forward Alex Morgan.

JACKSON COUNTY, Kan. – Law enforcement authorities are investigating a woman on drug allegations after a traffic stop.

Just after 3:30a.m. Sept. 14, a sheriff's deputy conducted a traffic stop on a 2011 Chevrolet sedan for a traffic infraction near 110th Road and U.S. Highway 75, according to Sheriff Tim Morse.

 A Jackson County K-9 alerted to the presence of narcotics in the car. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of cocaine, an additional controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. 

The front seat passenger, Semaja L. Willform, 20, of Merriam, had an outstanding felony warrant from Johnson County for burglary. Willform was arrested and transported to the Jackson County Jail and was booked on requested charges of possession of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and trafficking contraband into a correctional facility, according to Morse.

2022 KVA Rankings: Week Two

Today is Friday, Sept. 16, the 259th day of 2022. There are 106 days left in the year.

On Sept. 16, 2001, President George W. Bush, speaking on the South Lawn of the White House, said there was "no question" Osama bin Laden and his followers were the prime suspects in the Sept. 11 attacks; Bush pledged the government would "find them, get them running and hunt them down."

In 1630, the Massachusetts village of Shawmut changed its name to Boston.

In 1810, Mexico began its revolt against Spanish rule.

In 1908, General Motors was founded in Flint, Michigan, by William C. Durant.

In 1940, Samuel T. Rayburn of Texas was elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

In 1966, the Metropolitan Opera officially opened its new opera house at New York's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts with the world premiere of Samuel Barber's "Antony and Cleopatra."

In 1972, "The Bob Newhart Show" premiered on CBS.

In 1974, President Gerald R. Ford announced a conditional amnesty program for Vietnam war deserters and draft-evaders.

In 1982, the massacre of between 1,200 and 1,400 Palestinian men, women and children at the hands of Israeli-allied Christian Phalange militiamen began in west Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.

In 1987, two dozen countries signed the Montreal Protocol, a treaty designed to save the Earth's ozone layer by calling on nations to reduce emissions of harmful chemicals by the year 2000.

In 2007, contractors for the U.S. security firm Blackwater USA guarding a U.S. State Department convoy in Baghdad opened fire on civilian vehicles, mistakenly believing they were under attack; 14 Iraqis died. O.J. Simpson was arrested in the alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia collectors in Las Vegas. (Simpson was later convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison; he was released in 2017.)

In 2013, Aaron Alexis, a former U.S. Navy reservist, went on a shooting rampage inside the Washington Navy Yard, killing 12 people before being shot dead by police.

In 2016, after five years of promoting a false conspiracy theory about Barack Obama's birthplace, Republican Donald Trump abruptly reversed course, acknowledging that the president was born in America, but then claiming the "birther movement" was begun by his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. (While the question of Obama's birthplace was raised by some backers of Clinton's primary campaign against Obama eight years earlier, Clinton had long denounced it as a "racist lie.")

Ten years ago: In appearances on Sunday news shows, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said there was no evidence that the attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, was premeditated. But Libya's interim president, Mohammed el-Megarif, told CBS he had no doubt attackers spent months planning the assault and purposely chose the date, September 11.

Five years ago: Tropical Storm Maria, which would batter the Caribbean as a powerful hurricane, formed in the Atlantic. California lawmakers voted to move the state's presidential primary up by about three months to March, a move that would force candidates to mount expensive campaigns earlier.

One year ago: Health officials said the state of Florida had surpassed 50,000 coronavirus deaths since the start of the pandemic. A new study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked the COVID-19 pandemic to an "alarming" increase in obesity in U.S. children and teenagers. A report published in JAMA Ophthalmology suggested that vision problems increased among Chinese schoolchildren during pandemic restrictions and online learning. Jane Powell, a star of Hollywood's golden age musicals, died at her Connecticut home at 92.

Today in History - September 16

By DAN VAUGHAN, Jr. Kansas City Monarchs

KANSAS CITY,&nbsp;Kan.&nbsp;— The Kansas City Monarchs (3-2) championship road came to a heartbreaking end Thursday night at Legends Field as the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (4-2) punched their ticket to the American Association Championship Series (Miles Wolff Cup) with a 4-1 win. 

The RedHawks got stellar starting pitching from true rookie Peyton Wigginton (1-0), who held the league’s leading offense in check scattering six hits over six shutout innings.

The RedHawks grabbed the lead in the top of the third inning with a lead off single by Evan Alexander and a two-run home run from Christian Correa to left to make it 2-0 off Monarchs starter Jalen Miller (0-1).

While Wigginton was able to hold the Monarchs off the board, Kansas City did have chances to get the offense going.&nbsp;The Monarchs got a runner on in each of the first four innings and had the bases loaded in the fourth, but Wigginton was able to make the key pitches to keep Kansas City at bay.

The RedHawks got a one out double in the fifth and scored on a wide throw at first on a ground ball to the deep right side of the infield from Ryan Grotjohn.&nbsp;The Monarchs second sacker made a great diving play in a deep shift in shallow rightfield, but the throw was low and bounced wide of first baseman Casey Gillaspie for an unearned run.

The “Fargos” would tack on another run in the top of the sixth on a lead off double from John Silviano off Jordan Martinson.&nbsp;Manuel Boscan hit a ball to short that Pete Kozma threw to third to get Silviano, but the throw was low and Darnell Sweeney could not come up with the ball to put runners at the corners. Alec Olund hit a shallow fly to right for the first out, but Evan Alexander hit a sac fly to center to make it a 4-0 score in favor of the RedHawks.

Kansas City would load the bases once again against Wigginton in the sixth, but the lefty would once again make a big pitch to get out of the inning with two outs.&nbsp;Tanner Riley came in for the RedHawks in the seventh and walk J.C. Escarra then get a double play ball off the bat of

Kevin Santa.&nbsp;The rookie right-hander would then issue back to back walks to Mallex Smith and Darnell Sweeney before Joe Jones came in to get the final out. The Monarchs lone run came in the home half of the eighth inning. Jan Hernandez singled off Jones with one out. Casey Gillaspie then doubled to left to put runners at second the third. Pete Kozma struck out but a wild pitch from Jones brought home Hernandez for the only Monarchs run. Jones would retire J.C. Escarra with a pop to second and the Monarchs would go to the ninth down 4-1.

Closer Alex Dubord would work the ninth for the RedHawks. He retired the first two batters before Darnell Sweeney hit a single off the wall in left. Ryan Grotjohn smoked a ball to the right side to shallow right into the defensive shift right into the glove of second baseman Peter Maris to finish out the game closing the book on the Monarchs season by a 4-1 score. The RedHawks move on to play the Milwaukee Milkmen who won the East Division Series on Wednesday night over Cleburne.

Monarchs season comes to an end; RedHawks advance

A retired Salina registered nurse and addiction counselor with a long career in mental health and addiction treatment will talk about her children’s book during a public presentation next week.

The free 20-minute presentation by author LaNay Meier is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on the second floor of the Salina Senior Center, 245 N. Ninth Street.&nbsp; A question-and-answer session will follow. The presentation is open to the public.&nbsp;

Meier’s self-published book, The Feelings Umbrella was written to help children learn their inner feelings and express them in positive, healthy ways.&nbsp; The author encourages parents, grandparents and educators to read her book with the young people in their lives.&nbsp; Meier designed the book primarily for preschoolers to age 8.

“My journey started when I was very young,” Meier said.&nbsp; “I grew up in an environment that didn’t understand that children need to learn and be allowed to express their true feelings.”

In her book, the author contrasts an umbrella with stormy weather protection, an analogy that most people keep their feelings and thoughts deep inside, expressing different, sometimes unhealthy, behaviors on the outside.

A native of Hanston, in Hodgeman County, Meier worked with families through nonprofit organizations in the Salina area for more than 25 years.

SHAWNEE COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man on multiple charges after a high-speed chase on I-70 that sent a woman to the hospital.

Just before 2:30p.m. Monday, a K9 Unit conducted a traffic stop on a silver 2009 Lexus LS on I-70 near the California Ave. exit for failing to signal a lane change, according to Deputy Abigail Christian. During the traffic stop, the driver fled the scene, initiating a pursuit. 

The pursuit went southbound on SE Deer Creek Parkway, eastbound on SE 21st Street, westbound on SE 21st Street and then eastbound on I-70. At some point, while the vehicle was still moving, a female passenger exited the vehicle.

Sheriff: Woman jumps from from car during I-70 police chase

By CRISTINA JANNEY Hays Post

A Colorado man and a woman were arrested Monday afternoon after leading a trooper on a chase from Hays to Russell with speeds that reached 130 miles per hour.

At 3:36 p.m. Monday, a trooper tried to stop a 2015 Kawasaki motorcycle driven by 31-year-old Anthony B. Casados of Parker, Colo., at mile marker 158 on Interstate 70 at Hays, said Trooper Tod Hileman of the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The motorcycle fled eastbound on I-70 and exited the interstate at Russell at the U.S. 281 junction. The motorcycle ran out of gas about a mile south of Russell.

The driver dropped the motorcycle and attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended a short time later, Hileman said.

Casados and his passenger, 42-year-old Megan C. Horstmann of Denver, were arrested on a requested charge of fleeing and alluding. Casados was also arrested on a requested charge of driving with a revoked driver's license.

Both suspects were booked into the Ellis County Jail. No one was injured in the pursuit.

Trooper arrests 2 after 130mph chase on I-70

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 14, the 257th day of 2022. There are 108 days left in the year.

On Sept. 14, 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, New York, of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin; Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him.

In 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem "Defence of Fort McHenry" (later "The Star-Spangled Banner") after witnessing the American flag flying over the Maryland fort following a night of British naval bombardment during the War of 1812.

In 1847, during the Mexican-American War, U.S. forces under Gen. Winfield Scott took control of Mexico City.

In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Florida.

In 1867, the first volume of "Das Kapital" by Karl Marx was published in Hamburg, Germany.

In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice, France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in.

In 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly film star Grace Kelly, died at age 52 of injuries from a car crash the day before; Lebanon's president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was killed by a bomb.

In 1991, the government of South Africa, the African National Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party signed a national peace pact.

In 1994, on the 34th day of a strike by players, Acting Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig announced the 1994 season was over.

In 2001, Americans packed churches and clogged public squares on a day of remembrance for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. President George W. Bush prayed with his Cabinet and attended services at Washington National Cathedral, then flew to New York, where he waded into the ruins of the World Trade Center and addressed rescue workers in a flag-waving, bullhorn-wielding show of resolve.

In 2009, death claimed "Dirty Dancing" star Patrick Swayze at 57; former White House press secretary Jody Powell at age 65; and comic character actor Henry Gibson at age 73.

In 2012, fury over an anti-Muslim film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad spread across the Muslim world, with deadly clashes near Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, an American fast-food restaurant set ablaze in Lebanon, and international peacekeepers attacked in the Sinai.

In 2015, Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis returned to work for the first time since she was jailed for defying a federal court and announced that she would no longer block her deputies from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Ten years ago: Fury over an anti-Muslim film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad spread across the Muslim world, with deadly clashes near Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, an American fast-food restaurant set ablaze in Lebanon, and international peacekeepers attacked in the Sinai.

Five years ago: CIA Director Mike Pompeo canceled a planned appearance at Harvard University over the school's decision to name Chelsea Manning a visiting fellow. Former CIA deputy director Mike Morell resigned from his post at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, saying he couldn't be part of an organization that "honors a convicted felon and leaker of classified information."

One year ago: The Justice Department said it was curtailing federal agents' use of "no-knock" warrants, and would also prohibit its agents from using chokeholds in most circumstances. South Carolina state police said Alex Murdaugh, a prominent lawyer, had tried to arrange his own death so that a son would get a $10 million life insurance payment, but that the planned fatal shot only grazed his head. (Murdaugh was later charged in the deaths of his wife and their younger son; he is also charged with stealing $8.5 million from people who hired him as an attorney.) Standup comic and former "Saturday Night Live" star Norm Macdonald died at 61; his management team said he'd had cancer for nine years, but kept it private. Signaling that Broadway was inching back to normalcy, three powerhouse shows — "The Lion King," "Hamilton" and "Wicked" — reopened to audiences at full capacity.

SEDGWICK COUNTY —After the first weeks of the school year that saw several students in USD 259-Wichita taken into custody for allegedly having a gun at school, the school board on Monday voted 7-0 to approve the funds, over $1 million dollars, to purchase automatic screening devices for the district's high schools.

Superintendent Alicia Thompson in a message to the district&nbsp; before Labor Day wrote, " You are likely aware of a rash of incidents relating to unacceptable behaviors in several of our high schools. Public attention has been drawn to fights and students gathering to video the incident, as well as incidents of students bringing a weapon to school. Thankfully there have been no threats with the weapons, and no injuries during the fights, but we take each of these incidents seriously. The actions of a small number of our students who cause commotion and fear in our schools is&nbsp;completely unacceptable, and it must stop.

The vast majority of our students come to school to learn, grow, make friends and explore opportunities for future careers. We commend our students who do the right thing, and when something doesn’t look or feel right, students should be reminded that if they “see something they should say something.”&nbsp;

Parents, regardless of the age of your child, please make sure they also know that disruptive behavior that threatens the learning environment of their school, and causes fear or disruption,&nbsp;will not be tolerated in our schools. While we know our community continues to deal with the stresses of social isolation and economic concerns, there is&nbsp;absolutely no tolerance for this behavior coming into our schools.

On August 29, police took a student at West High School into custody for having a gun on campus. On August 30, police took a Wichita Heights student with a gun on campus into custody.&nbsp; On Sept. 1, a Wichita Police Department School Resource Officer was working at East High School when they were notified by school staff of a student that was possibly in possession of a firearm, according to Officer Trevor Macy.

School staff searched a 16-year-old male student and found a handgun in his possession. The gun was seized, and the 16-year-old was booked into the Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center for possession of a firearm by a juvenile and possession of a firearm on school grounds.

On August 29, Security staff at Wichita Southeast High School were forced to use pepper spray during an incident in the cafeteria.

"There was an altercation at the school involving 7 or 8 students during lunch that caused a large crowd to gather," according to USD 259 media relations manager Susan Arensman.

"The school security officer used pepper spray in the area to disperse the crowd. No students were directly sprayed. No one was injured."

"When situations get where we cannot get students to comply and the learning environment is deemed unsafe we may have to resort to these measures, School principal Ben Mitchell wrote in a note sent to parents and guardians.
