SHAWNEE COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Shawnee County are investigating a shooting and have made an arrest.

Just after 7 a.m. on Saturday, police were dispatched to a hospital in Topeka to meet with a 34-year-old shooting victim, according to a media release.

The victim suffered non-life threatening wounds during an altercation between individuals who knew each other at a residence in the 2600 Block of SE Massachusetts in Topeka.

Police located those involved at a residence in the 3300 Block of SW 47th in Topeka. Although they initially refused to cooperate, police were able to take several individuals in for questioning and arrested Randall Scott Hogue, 30, Topeka, for aggravated battery.

Name of the victim was not released.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge has ordered a halt to another Obama administration effort to strengthen transgender rights, this time over health rules that social conservatives say could force doctors to violate their religious beliefs.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor on Saturday granted a temporary injunction that stops federal health officials from enforcing rules that are intended to ban discrimination by doctors and hospitals against transgender persons.

O’Connor wrote in a 46-page ruling that the rules “likely violate” the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

O’Connor is the same judge who sided with Republican-controlled states earlier this year over transgender protections in public schools sought by the Obama administration.

That lawsuit centered on a federal directive requiring schools to let transgender students use bathrooms consistent with their gender identity.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An independent state agency has more than quadrupled the number of law enforcement officer’s licenses it has revoked each year since 2011.

The Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training has increased the number of actions it takes from about eight a year to about 35 a year.

The Wichita Eagle reports that last year the agency took action against one in about every 200 officers employed in the state. In one case, an officer issued a traffic ticket but then took it back after the offender contacted his wife about an affair the officer was having. In another, a sheriff was convicted of distributing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school.

Officials say the increase in disciplinary actions can be in part attributed to more funding.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Two new Republican leaders in the Kansas Legislature want to move quickly to repeal an income tax break for more than 330,000 farmers and business owners.

The policy under fire was championed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and passed by lawmakers in 2012.

Assaria Republican and House Taxation Committee Chairman Steven Johnson says he hopes a bill to repeal the break can be passed within weeks of lawmakers convening on Jan. 9.

Overland Park Republican and incoming Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning also would like to see a quick repeal to help address the state’s budget problems. Repeal is expected to raise about $260 million a year.
