OKLAHOMA CITY - District attorneys from across Oklahoma will converge at the capitol Monday to discuss the state's meth epidemic.

Last week, state lawmakers killed a bill that would've required a prescription to buy medicine with pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient used to make meth.

A press conference is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.  The state's DAs are expected to show their support for other similar bills.

Prosecutors and police say a "prescription only" law would help curb Oklahoma's growing meth problem.

    There's no question the level of devastation Moore residents have seen.  Not once, not twice, but three times tornadoes have disrupted life for the Oklahoma City suburb. Still, residents' spirits are anything but destroyed.  They've been through this before.
