WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Two Wichita women who helped organize protests in the city last summer calling for changes in police conduct have been found guilty of misdemeanor charges connected to the demonstrations.
Gabrielle Griffie and Marissa Gonzalez both received probation sentences after their convictions for unlawful assembly in Wichita Municipal Court last week. Gonzalez was also convicted of assault related to one confrontation with a driver. Both women were acquitted of disorderly conduct in the protests last July that at times blocked traffic while protesters marched down streets, according to The Wichita Eagle.

Two Wichita firefighters and one other person were taken to a hospital after a house fire Sunday night.
Crews were called to a neighborhood near 13th and Waco around 8 p.m., and they found a house on fire at 12th and Jackson. There was heavy fire on the second floor of a multi-family home, but it appeared that nobody was inside when the fire started.
One firefighter was taken to a hospital to get checked out for burns, and another was reportedly hurt by someone trying to get into the burning home. Police helped get this person under control and to a hospital. Another injured person was treated at the scene and not hospitalized.
