From the Kansas Highway Patrol

OAKLEY — On March 29 at approximately 6:59 p.m., a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper performed a traffic stop on a Ford Windstar minivan with Oklahoma tags on U.S. 40 highway, in front of Mittens Truck Stop at Oakley, for speeding.

While being placed under arrest for a felony warrant, the driver — Bryce Castell, 20, of Oklahoma City — produced a firearm from his waistband, the KHP reported.

The KHP said Castell turned the gun on himself and died from the self-inflicted injury at the scene.

The Gove County Sheriff’s Department is conducting the investigation in the matter.
