SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a suburban Kansas City officer has shot at a suspect who then fled in a vehicle and remains at large.

Police said in a news release that it’s not clear whether the suspect was injured Thursday during the failed arrest attempt at a Shawnee convenience store.

The release says an officer from Shawnee asked for help from an officer from neighboring Lenexa after checking a license plate. The check showed that a person associated with the vehicle had an outstanding warrant.

While attempting an arrest, the Lenexa officer fired his weapon. The release offered no other details about what led up to the shooting or the warrant.

The Lenexa officer suffered minor scrapes and has been placed on paid leave amid an investigation. The other officer wasn’t hurt.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is withdrawing a court brief that cites the slavery-era Dred Scott decision to support the state’s position that the Kansas Constitution does not guarantee a right to an abortion.

Schmidt said Wednesday in a statement that the filing submitted to the Kansas Supreme Court a day earlier does not accurately reflect the state’s position and should not have been made.

The state used the 1857 Dred Scott case to bolster its argument that the Declaration of Independence had no legally binding effect.

Schmidt says the reference was “obviously inappropriate,” and he ordered it withdrawn once he became aware of it.

In the infamous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled a black person whose ancestors were sold as slaves could not be a U.S. citizen.
