BARTON COUNTY Law enforcement authorities in Barton County are investigating a shooting just before 10:30p.m. on Thursday in Barton County.

According to Sheriff Brian Bellendir, two subjects arrived at the Barton County Jail to report a battery.

At approximately the same time Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to Great Bend Regional Hospital for a report of a gunshot wound.

Deputies responded to both locations and determined both incidents were the result of an altercation in the 500 block of Northwest 20 Avenue, according to Bellendir.

“Evidently there was dispute over property and the situation became a physical altercation and multiple shots were fired,” he said. “A 44 year old man received several gunshot wounds.”

An investigation resulted in the arrest of Sydney Perez, 20, Topeka. She has been booked for attempted murder and aggravated battery, according to Bellendir.

A second arrest was made Friday morning when 57-year old Kirk Sander of Great Bend was charged with aggravated assault.

Perez is being held in lieu of $1,000,000 bond and Sanders is being held in lieu of $20,000 bond.

The victim remains at Great Bend Regional Hospital.
