SALINA- Law enforcement authorities in Salina have made an arrest in a Friday morning shooting.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney reported officers were dispatched just after 12:45 a.m. to 1119 N. 4th Street in reference to a disturbance involving a firearm.

Upon arrival, officers contacted a 17-year-old male, who reported Michael Ryan, 34 of #31 Crestview, came to his residence and pointed a rifle at him.

Ryan also kidnapped a 15-year-old female (who was acquainted to Ryan) and left prior to the officers’ arrival.

Officers immediately responded to #31 Crestview where they found the 15-year-old safe and unharmed. She was taken to the police department to be interviewed. Ryan was not located at the residence.

Ryan later returned to his residence.

Officers surrounded the house and used a public address system in an attempt to have him come out.

As officers continued to persuade Ryan to come out, several shots were fired in their direction.

One of the rounds struck the rear passenger door of a patrol car, where an officer was taking cover.

In addition, one occupied residence across the street was struck multiple times. No officers fired their weapons.

Ryan eventually came out of the residence armed with two firearms. Officers confronted Ryan from cover and ordered him to drop his weapons. Ryan complied and was taken into custody.

The Salina Police Department is requesting charges of attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, shooting into an occupied dwelling, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and damage to property.
