LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a map sent by a prisoner awaiting trial in a fatal shooting earlier this summer led police to what could be the murder weapon.

Police believe Danny Tucker Jr., charged with first-degree murder for the June 20 shooting death of Earl Richardson III, sent a card from jail to a friend that included a map of the grounds of a Lincoln apartment complex.

Police took the map, followed its instructions and found a .357-caliber handgun buried under a tree. Ballistics tests had shown that such a gun was among those that could have been used to carry out Richardson’s shooting.

Police are awaiting test results from the recovered gun to see if it matches bullet fragments from the shooting scene.

NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials are investigating nine cases of muscle weakness or paralysis in Colorado children and whether the culprit is a virus causing severe respiratory illness across the country.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday sent doctors an alert about the polio-like cases. The germ — enterovirus 68 — was detected in four of eight children tested.

Health officials don’t know whether the virus caused any of the children’s arm and leg weaknesses or whether it’s just a germ they coincidentally picked up.

The cases occurred within the last two months — during the same period the nation has seen a wave of severe respiratory illnesses linked to the virus.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (AP) — When the historic downtown movie theater in Webster City, Iowa, went bankrupt and shut down last year, some wondered whether it was further proof of the small town’s demise after a factory closure put hundreds out of work.

Instead, residents rallied. They held public meetings, hashed out volunteer work and launched a fundraising campaign. More than $200,000 later, the theater reopened Saturday.

Webster City’s story is playing out across the country, as residents of small communities work to save their historic downtown movie theaters. To many, the hope is that a theater’s revival could aid a community’s revival, too.

The National Main Street Center, a group that offers tools for revitalizing main street areas, says renovations become a rallying cry for communities.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha hospital that treated an American aid worker infected with Ebola has fired two workers accused of violating the man’s privacy by looking at his medical file.

The Omaha World-Herald first reported the firings Friday. In a written statement, the Nebraska Medical Center said an audit of the hospital’s electronic medical records led to the discovery that two employees had inappropriately accessed Dr. Rick Sacra’s file.

The hospital says the employees’ actions violated federal patient privacy regulations and that the hospital has “a zero tolerance” policy regarding unauthorized access to patient information.

The hospital said Sacra was notified in person and in writing of the breech.

Sacra returned Thursday to his home state of Massachusetts after being successfully treated for the virus he contracted working in Africa.
