Friends, family attend funeral of 9-year-old killed in Oklahoma tornado
Friends and family are attending funeral services for a 9-year-old girl killed by Monday's tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb.
Thursday's funeral for Antonia Candelaria was the first since the storm that killed 24 people. Ten of the victims were children.
Relatives and friends huddling under umbrellas amid a downpour hurried into a chapel where mournful country songs played. The front of the chapel was filled with photos of a smiling Antonia.
Candelaria was one of seven children who perished when the tornado flattened an elementary school in the city of Moore.
A family photo released by her mother shows the girl beaming with a big smile and wearing a white sun hat.
Authorities say the tornado caused $2 billion in damage and destroyed or damaged up to 13,000 homes.

84-year-old New Mexico woman indicted for drug trafficking
An 84-year-old Albuquerque woman on an oxygen tank has been indicted for drug trafficking.
KRQE-TV reports that Lillie Smith was recently indicted by a Bernalillo County grand jury for trafficking, conspiracy to commit trafficking, tampering with evidence and possession.
Court documents show the charges stem from a warrant served at her apartment in 2011.
Deputies suspected that the woman's son, Nathan Jones, was running a small drug operation out of her home. But the sheriff's office says deputies found cocaine and marijuana on Smith and she tried to stash the drugs during the investigation.
Court records show that Smith was arrested and has been released. Her son was also arrested. It was not known if either of them has a lawyer.

California man arrested for more than 100 calls to 911 claiming satellites control him
A Sacramento man arrested for calling 911 more than 100 times in the last month -- because he believes his body is controlled by satellites -- says he won't stop until lawmakers launch an investigation.
"My brain, I can feel it starting. I'm blasted by the signals, every couple of minutes," Jimmy Shao told CBS Sacramento. "I yell and I scream, 'Stop it, I don't need this,' but they never listen."
Shao says he thinks he's being watched by shadowy government figures.
The 56-year-old was arrested late Monday night, according to Fox 40, and faces charges of falsely reporting emergencies and making harassing 911 calls.
Police say 60 of the 911 calls he made went to the Sacramento Police dispatcher.
Council members abstain from vote on abstaining
Three members of a Michigan city council have abstained from voting on a measure that would have prevented them from abstaining on future votes.
AnnArbor.com reports (http://bit.ly/13JeOBH ) that Ypsilanti City Council member Pete Murdock proposed a resolution Tuesday that would have required council members to only vote "yes" or "no" on each issue unless they had a financial or professional conflict.
Mayor Paul Schreiber and council members Susan Moeller and Brian Robb abstained from the vote to show their disapproval of the resolution.
The resolution failed, with Murdock and another City Council member voting "yes" while two other council members voted "no."

California police arrest man for alleged Disneyland scam
Authorities say a man has been arrested after claiming to be a member of the Walt Disney family and giving away invalid Disneyland passes.
Los Angeles County sheriff's officials say the man called himself "Stephen Disney" and had a fake driver's license and tax forms that falsely claimed income from the Walt Disney Corp.
The statement says he gave Disneyland passes to a woman for a raffle. When the winner took the passes to Disneyland, she learned they hadn't been activated.
Deputies determined the man's name is 51-year-old Stephen David Urquidez and the passes were stolen from a store.
He was arrested on suspicion of burglary and having a driver's license with a forged state seal, a felony.
Urquidez was released after posting $20,000 bond.
