Police say officers shot, killed man in Wichita

Police ShootingWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police say officers have shot and killed a man who fired on officers.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the shooting happened early Sunday morning after the man walked through a neighborhood periodically firing a gun. Lt. John Speer says the suspect fired at officers and shot at police vehicles.

Officers returned fire, and the man was killed in the front yard of a home. More than 30 officers were at the scene at one point, but Speer says none of them were injured.

The age and name of the man who was killed weren’t immediately released.
