Deadline For Written Statements From Victims of Atchison Gas Release

From the Associated Press:

(TOPEKA, KS) A deadline is near for those who believe they were victims of a 2016 toxic gas release over the Kansas town of Atchison. Federal prosecutors are urging victims to submit written victim statements by Friday.

U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister says sentencing of Harcros Chemicals, Inc. and MGP Ingredients, Inc. is May 27th. Both companies pleaded guilty to violating the federal law and each agreed to pay a $1 million fine.

In October 2016, two chemicals were mistakenly mixed to form a cloud of chlorine gas over Atchison.
