Law Enforcement Officers Shot In Rural Kansas

CARBONDALE, Kan. (AP) — Authorities in Kansas say four law enforcement officers have shot while responding to a domestic violence call at a home in a rural area south of Topeka. The incident occurred Saturday morning outside the small town of Carbondale. Authorities say a 22-year-old male suspect died of gunshot wounds at the scene. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says the suspect’s 77-year-old grandfather was wounded in the gunfire. He and the law enforcement officers are all expected to recover. Patrol Superintendent Erik Smith said officers had been on the scene less than 10 minutes when gunfire erupted. The wounded officers are three Osage County sheriff’s deputies and a patrol trooper.
