Hearing set for man accused of shooting at Kansas police

police shooting smallINDEPENDENCE, Kan. (AP) — A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next month for a man shot and wounded by police in southeastern Kansas after he allegedly fired at them.

The Parsons Sun reports that 24-year-old Kenneth J. Jones of Parsons remains jailed on $1 million bond in Montgomery County. That’s where he’s charged with attempted second-degree murder and aggravated assault on a law officer.

Court papers show that the felony counts relate to a Nov. 5 confrontation between Jones and Coffeyville police, who were not injured.

It was not clear Sunday if Jones has an attorney.
