All of the shots fired by the officer missed the man. The man then surrendered to police, and officers recovered the man's weapon.

EMERSON, Neb. — Corliss Hassler rushes in the front door of Post 60 Market and heads straight for the produce case. “I’m back,” she announces.

A pediatrician in St. Louis has allegedly been exchanging prescription drugs for sex and cash with patients for a decade — an illicit practice federal prosecutors say he continued even after one of the women he supplied narcotics to overdosed and died. Prosecutors wrote in a complaint filed in federal court yesterday that Craig Spiegel has doled out "over 73,000 controlled substance pills" to at least 25 individuals, though the complaint states the number of people he's illicitly provided pills to is probably higher. There was "no legitimate medical purpose" for the doctor to give these people drugs, which authorities say he distributed in a "tit-for-tat" nature, giving them to female patients in exchange for sexual favors and to other patients in exchange for money.

There hasn’t been a large increase in accidents involving St. Louis police — or at least that’s what police told the Board of Aldermen yesterday.

Be it from a distant country or from the St. Louis riverfront, my parents would somehow perfectly apply a handful of words to impart a fundamental principle.
