Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers and an Ottawa County Sheriff’s Deputy spotted the suspect west of town walking along a creek, a creek into which the person fled when approached.

At 1023 hours, Troopers searching the creek bed located the suspect at which point gunfire was exchanged and the suspect was fatally wounded.

The suspect has not been identified and the crime scene has been turned over to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for investigation.
