SUMMARY: Of course! Please provide the content you’d like me to summarize, and I’ll help you with it.

A child accidentally shot and killed a four-year-old girl in north St. Louis early Tuesday morning.

Authorities are investigating the incident as an accidental shooting. It apparently took place as multiple young children were inside a home with no adults there. A city police spokesperson said the department is heartbroken over what has happened.

The shooting unfolded around midnight with police rushing to a shooting call on the 700 block of Thrush in the Baden neighborhood, basically between Hall Street and North Broadway in north St. Louis city.

Police spokesperson Mitch McCoy says when officers got there, they found a 4-year-old girl who had been shot and was barely breathing. Officers rushed the child to the hospital in their patrol SUV.

McCoy says one officer conducted CPR on the child while another officer drove the vehicle. Tragically though, the little girl died at the hospital.

McCoy says that while it’s early in the investigation, it appears that four children, all under the age of 10, were inside the home at the time of the shooting, but no adults were at the home.

SUMMARY: Sure! Please provide the content you would like summarized.

The Missouri Supreme Court is hearing arguments Tuesday as to whether Amendment 3 will stay on the Missouri ballot. If passed, it could restore abortion rights back in the state. But right now, it’s up in the air if it will even be on the ballot at all.

Secretary of State John Ashcroft certified the amendment for the ballot last month. But yesterday, in a stunning reversal, he rescinded the certification following a ruling from Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh.

Judge Limbaugh ruled the petition failed to include sections of existing laws that would be repealed, making it in violation of state law. That petition was signed by over 380,000 voters.

The high court took the appeal after Judge Limbaugh ruled the reproductive rights amendment violated state law, and then Secretary Ashcroft decertified the amendment. In fact, it no longer appears on his office’s website.

SUMMARY: The World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis has reported an increase in birds, particularly great horned owls, getting caught in soccer nets, as the area is on a migratory bird path. The transparency of soccer nets leads birds to mistake them for pathways while hunting. Recently, eight such entanglements were reported, with five birds successfully released and three still undergoing care. Injuries from struggling can be severe, including broken feathers and bones. If you find an entangled bird, it’s advised to contact the sanctuary for assistance. Awareness and prevention measures are crucial for protecting these birds during migration.

SUMMARY: On Fox 2 News at 6, Shirley Washington reported that the Missouri Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding the fate of Amendment 3, which pertains to abortion, scheduled for discussion tomorrow. Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has decertified the amendment, removing it from the November ballot, citing that it does not meet legal requirements related to its language. Specifically, disputes have arisen over the amendment’s broad wording and lack of details on laws that would be repealed if it passes. A circuit court judge previously ruled the amendment insufficient and the state court will begin hearing the case at 8:30 AM.

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has decertified the Amendment 3 petition set to appear on the Missouri ballot in November, citing a deficient petition.
