KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Authorities say they plan to release more information about a deadly gunfight with a man who’d been under surveillance in the fatal shooting of an Indian university student in Missouri.
Police say more details will be released Monday afternoon about the shooting Sunday that also wounded three police officers in Kansas City.
Police say the officers suffered wounds that weren’t life threatening and expressed thanks Monday for the community’s “thoughts and prayers.”
Investigators haven’t released the name of the man killed Sunday but say he was a person of interest in the slaying of 25-year-old Sharath Koppu.
Koppu was a master’s degree student from India studying at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He was shot during an armed robbery on July 6 at a fast food restaurant where he worked.
