CHANUTE, Kan. (AP) - An Oklahoma newspaper is reporting three
recent graduates of Oral Roberts University and a former business
instructor were killed when a small airplane crashed in Kansas.

The Tulsa World reports a fifth person, also an Oral Roberts
graduate, was badly injured when the twin-engine Cessna crashed
about 4:30 p.m. Friday northwest of Chanute.

The Kansas Highway Patrol identifies the victims as 23-year-old
Luke Sheets of Ephraim, Wis., who was flying the plane; 27-year-old
Austin Anderson of Ringwood, Okla.; 29-year-old Garrett Coble of
Tulsa, Okla.; and 22-year-old Stephen Luth of Muscatine, Iowa.

National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson says the eight-seat plane departed left Tulsa headed to Council
Bluffs, Iowa, and lost contact with air traffic control shortly after getting permission to descend to a lower altitude.
