Man sentenced for shooting at Salina police officers

jailSALINA, Kan. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to more than 80 years in prison after pleading guilty to shooting at three Salina police officers in May.

The Salina Journal reports 46-year-old Jose Carrillo was sentenced to prison after he decided not to withdraw his guilty plea. Carrillo was charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder.

Prosecutors say Carrillo was armed with a .22-caliber rifle and shot at three officers who were attempting to protect a woman he’d been living with.

According to an affidavit by a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent, Carrillo and the woman had argued previously over him coming home drunk.

Authorities say Carrillo shot multiple times toward the officers, one of whom returned fire and hit Carrillo. An internal investigation determined the officer followed proper procedures.
