Prairie Village Police say an infant is in critical condition after being bitten by a dog.

The incident took place Thursday in the 4900 block of W. 72nd Terr., according to a news release from Prairie Village Police Sgt. Josh Putthoff.

Putthoff said the infant was in the care of a “non-parent caregiver” at the time.

Police were first notified of the infant’s condition at around 9:30 p.m Thursday by officials at Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Putthoff said investigators determined the bite occurred earlier in the evening on 72nd Terrace.

Police identified the dog as a pit bull.

“The dog, a pit bull, was seized and impounded last night and, at the owner’s request, was euthanized earlier [Friday],” Putthoff said in his statement. “Currently, there is no threat to the public and all parties are cooperating with the investigation.”

It’s unclear who the owner of the dog is or their relation to the injured child.

“The infant remains hospitalized and in critical condition. At this time, we are requesting that the privacy of the family be respected,” Putthoff said.

Police continue to investigate the incident.

Five years ago, Prairie Village repealed its ban on pit bulls, one of a number of Johnson County cities that have rolled back such rules in recent years.

At the time, residents in support of lifting the ban said such prohibitions unfairly stigmatized certain breeds of dogs and their owners. They also argued that there is no conclusive evidence that pit bulls pose a more significant safety risk to humans than other breeds.

Leawood remains the only city in Johnson County with a pit bull ban on the books, though that city tweaked its ordinance two years ago, clarifying what breeds count as a “pit bull” and also removing words like “vicious” from the ordinance language.

The Trump administration lifted its suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine, and Kyiv signaled that it was open to a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia, pending Moscow’s agreement, American and Ukrainian officials said Tuesday following talks in Saudi Arabia.

The unbelievable footage, posted on Telegram, shows two Ukrainian soldiers amidst ruins in the east of the country carrying a beehive together.

The pair grab the wooden box filled with the insects and lug it towards the bunker, with the drone footage capturing the moment they chuck down the hole.

The New Popular Front alliance looked like the best hope the left had against Macron and Le Pen. But after months of internal conflicts, it’s on the brink of collapse.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration.

The abuse of power, the lack of respect for our institutions, the rule by edict ... can those of us opposed to these create coherent rebuttals in the form of constitutional amendments that will address our time of crisis? What will these amendments say?

“Our farmers simply cannot afford the uncertainty of a potential trade war. Farm income has declined for a second straight year,” Brian Duncan, Illinois Farm Bureau president, said in a statement last week. “Uncertainty surrounding tariffs and the potential for retaliation makes it difficult to plan for the future.”

Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington, D.C., said earlier this month: “Tariffs and tariff retaliation often hit farmers and ranchers hard, which make it more difficult for them to pay their bills and grow the food America’s families rely on.”

Now, with Russian talks on the way, unverified and sourceless rumors spread on social media that the president was planning to withdraw from NATO.
