Authorities have recovered the bodies of five snowboarders who were killed in a backcountry avalanche on Colorado’s Loveland Pass.

Clear Creek County Sheriff Don Krueger said multiple search and rescue crews located the bodies Saturday. A sixth snowboarder was caught in the slide. That person’s condition was unknown.

Krueger said authorities are pretty certain the snowboarders triggered the avalanche, which he said was about 600 yards wide and eight feet deep.

A doctor involved in treating the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died in a gun-battle with police says he had injuries head to toe and all limbs intact when he arrived at the hospital.

Dr. David Schoenfeld (SHOW’-en-feld) says 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was unconscious and had so many penetrating wounds that it isn’t clear which ones killed him. The doctor says a medical examiner will have to determine the cause of death.

Schoenfeld says the suspect was in cardiac arrest and lost a pulse as soon as he arrived at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center following a shootout with police in the Boston suburb of Watertown early Friday. Doctors tried numerous treatments for about 15 minutes before pronouncing him dead.

A photo of the Tsarnaev’s body was leaked to the celebrity gossip website TMZ.

The doctor said “we did everything we could” to try to save his life.

A Johnson County deputy was injured when he lost control of his patrol vehicle and slid into an oncoming truck.

Johnson County Attorney Julie D. Smith says deputy Andrew Schroeder was driving eastbound on Highway 41 about noon Friday in response to a call to assist another deputy when he lost control of his vehicle. Schroeder crashed into the truck and had to be extricated from the patrol vehicle.

Schroeder was flown by medical helicopter to a hospital in Lincoln, where he was listed in fair condition.

The only sedate place in Boston after the arrest of the surviving marathon bombing suspect may have been the spot were Monday’s tragedy unfolded.

Dozens gathered Friday near where the twin bombs exploded to pay solemn tribute to the three killed and more than 180 wounded in the explosions.

Celebrations erupted in many other communities including suburban Watertown where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (JOH’-kahr tsahr-NY’-ev) was taken into custody after being found hiding in a boat parked in the backyard of a home.

The jubilation was widespread. The mayor of Boston tweeted, “We got him!” And at the home of the New York Mets, fans leapt to their feet and cheered.

Nebraska lawmakers who support expanding Medicaid to more low-income adults are uncertain if the Legislature will get another chance to debate the issue.

The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Kathy Campbell of Lincoln, says she plans to talk one-on-one with senators who are on the fence next week. She says she wants to see if there’s a way to find common ground.

Advocates thought the bill would get the minimum votes needed to sail to the governor’s desk, but instead, a group of conservative lawmakers stalled the issue Wednesday when they refused to vote to end debate.

Speaker Greg Adams of York says this setback could push the measure off until next year if the bill sponsors don’t gather 33 votes needed to end debate.

As tens of thousands of people gather to celebrate and smoke marijuana in Denver, police will be out in full force.

But it’s not the pot smoking they’re concerned about at the yearly event, billed as the nation’s largest April 20 celebration. Instead, police say they’re focused on crowd security in light of attacks that killed three at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

Organizers say the event — which drew 50,000 people last year — could bring a record 80,000 this year. That’s because it’s the first celebration since Colorado and Washington voted to make pot legal for recreational use.

Even with the legalization, Colorado bans open and public marijuana use. Still, authorities generally look the other way.

A July trial in Nebraska has been scheduled for a Kansas fugitive who’s accused of firing at officers during a vehicle chase in southeast Nebraska.

33-year-old Michael Engstrom, of Topeka, Kan., pleaded not guilty earlier this week to several felony counts in Johnson County District Court.

His wife, Jamie Engstrom, pleaded guilty to felony child abuse. Prosecutors dropped several charges connected to the Feb. 13 chase in exchange for Jamie Engstrom’s plea. Authorities say the child abuse charge was filed because Jamie Engstrom had placed a 14-year-old child in harm’s way. Officers discovered after the chase that the child was in the Engstroms’ car.

Both Engstroms have been charged with murder in the slaying of a Topeka man earlier on Feb. 13.

Two Nebraska men have been charged in separate federal indictments with child pornography counts.

The U.S. Attorney’s office for Nebraska says 56-year-old James Haugh, of Grand Island, and 26-year-old Michael Nguyen, of Lincoln, were indicted earlier this week.

Both Haugh and Nguyen each face two counts — one of receiving and distributing child pornography and one of possessing child pornography.

Federal prosecutors say Haugh received and distribute child porn on different occasions from Jan. 3, 2009, to Dec. 28, 2012. Nguyen is accused of receiving and distributing child porn from Jan. 17 to March 22.

If convicted, each faces up to 30 years in federal prison.
