Colorado families, hostages freed after three-state spree
A six person spree across Colorado and Kansas ended with abductions, shootings, and a chase along I-70. Two Omaha women and a Colorado family were seized in a roadside park near Wakeeney Kansas. Patrol units stopped suspects after a Quinter service-station robbery, rescuing the abducted group and injuring no one beyond the two gunmen. The Colorado family and the duo from Council Bluffs faced uncertain charges as the case unfolded.
