He was taken to the hospital for evaluation and then booked to the Boone County Jail.

Kansas City, MO) -- The reopening of restaurants, bars, and other businesses in Kansas City might get pushed back. Those were set to reopen next week, but Mayor Quinton Lucas says they're waiting on the results of testing at the senior living facility McCrite Plaza at Briarcliffe after seven residents and four staffers tested positive for COVID-19. Lucas says right now it's not known if the outbreak has spread further than the Northland facility. He says combined with an outbreak at a food plant in St. Joseph, there are fears a second wave is growing.

The victims were found in a running car, and police have said the murders were not random.

(St. Louis, MO) -- No specifics have been provided yet about the return of Major League Baseball, but St. Louis Cardinals president Bill DeWitt said during a St. Louis tourism webinar it will be "sooner rather than later." DeWitt says it won't be what fans are used to, as baseball will likely be on TV and radio only without fans in the stadiums. KMOV-TV reports Saint Louis Zoo officials added during the webinar that it's struggling without any visitors, and plans are being made for when the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station is able to reopen.
