BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Health Department says four illnesses in the state have been tied to a salmonella outbreak linked to frozen, raw ground tuna.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the tuna from Louisiana-based Jensen Tuna has sickened 13 people in seven states since early January. Two people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
The company has recalled the tuna that was imported from Vietnam. It had been sold to distributors in Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota and Washington.
The tuna was sold for use in finished food dishes sold by restaurants and food retailers and was unlikely to be sold directly to consumers in grocery stores.
Most people infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. The illness can last up to a week.

Update…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Legislature has passed legislation that would waive burial fees for a veteran’s spouse and dependents at the state Veterans Cemetery south of Mandan.
The House passed the legislation Wednesday that sets aside $175,000 in the next two-year budget cycle to fund the burials. The legislation would become effective in March 2020.
Belcourt Democratic Sen. Richard Marcellais pushed the legislation that waives the $550 fee for spouses and dependents. Veterans may be buried there at no cost.
That original bill was killed by the House but was reconsidered and passed 69-21.
The Senate gave unanimous support to the bill in February.
The measure now goes to Gov. Doug Burgum.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Senate has passed legislation to commit public money for a Theodore Roosevelt presidential library in western North Dakota.
Senators voted 34-13 after a more than hour-long debate to use $50 million from the state treasury and loans from the state-owned Bank of North Dakota to help fund operating and maintenance costs of the proposed library in Medora.
The money must be matched by $100 million in private funds to build the facility. The legislation says $10 million from the private funds would be use to digitize presidential documents at nearby Dickinson State University. The project has been a top priority of Gov. Doug Burgum.
The measure now goes to the House, where the prospects of its passage may be dimmer than in the Senate.
In world and national news…
LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis says that he and all of the state’s parents are “hugging their children a little tighter” after a young Florida woman obsessed with the 1999 Columbine High School attack was found dead.
Polis says that “the potential threat is over” after authorities announced Wednesday that 18-year-old Sol Pais had been found by the FBI with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Authorities say Pais flew to Colorado and bought a shotgun and ammunition ahead of Saturday’s 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre.
They initially said she “made threats to commit an act of violence in the Denver metropolitan area.”
Polis says in a statement: “Today, parents across Colorado —including me— are hugging their children a little tighter.”
He adds: “Together we thank law enforcement for their swift and diligent actions over the past 24 hours to keep Coloradans safe, and we will continue to be vigilant against threats to our community.”
LIMA, Peru (AP) — Doctors say former Peruvian President Alan García died from a “massive cerebral hemorrhage from a gunshot and cardiorespiratory arrest.”
A statement released by the José Casimiro Ulloa Hospital in the capital of Lima on Wednesday says Garcia died about three hours after arriving at the hospital for the bullet wound.
He was hospitalized for an “uncontrollable hemorrhage at the base of the skull” at 6:45 a.m. local time and entered surgery about thirty minutes later.
Garcia was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m.
Authorities arrived at García’s home early Wednesday to detain him in connection with a corruption probe, whereupon they say he shut himself in a bedroom and the sound of gunfire was heard.
Garcia’s lawyer said he was distressed over the accusations. His client maintained his innocence.
PARIS (AP) — The Paris prosecutor’s office says the investigation into the Notre Dame Cathedral fire has not produced any indication so far of a criminal act. The probe is still in its early stages.
The office on Wednesday said investigators had been able to access some parts of the building to begin their on-site work.
Meanwhile, “about 10” more people have been questioned by police, bringing the total to about 40.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new poll finds Americans aren’t ready to clear President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation. Slightly more want Congress to keep investigating than to set aside its probes after the special counsel’s report. And about 6 in 10 believe the president obstructed justice.
The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research comes after Attorney General William Barr in late March released his letter saying special counsel Robert Mueller found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia but didn’t make a judgment on obstruction.
The survey indicates Americans are mostly unhappy with the amount of information that’s been released so far. They’ll get more Thursday when a redacted version of the nearly 400-page report is expected to be released.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. says it’s imposing sanctions on the Central Bank of Venezuela. The Trump administration says the bank has been instrumental in propping up the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
President Donald Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton says the move is aimed at restricting U.S. transactions with the bank and cutting off the bank’s access to U.S. currency.
Bolton says the action is meant to be a warning to others, including Russia, against deploying military assets to Venezuela to help Maduro stay in power.
The Kremlin has rejected U.S. calls for Moscow to withdraw its military specialists from Venezuela. Russia says they are there to honor obligations under previous arms contracts. Bolton says Russia has conducted several military flights to Venezuela carrying 35 tons of unknown cargo and 100 military personnel.
