MAYETTA, Kan. — The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says it’s investigating an officer-involved shooting of a man accused of wielding a knife in a confrontation with officers in northeastern Kansas.
A KBI news release says the shooting happened Wednesday evening near Mayetta, after a Jackson County Sheriff’s deputy tried to stop a car and a chase ensued. The car crashed a short time later, and officials say the driver, 41-year-old Shanon Wren of Topeka, and a woman fled on foot. The Kansas Highway Patrol and deputies later found the pair after a search, and officials say a trooper shot Wren during the confrontation.
Wren remained in critical condition Thursday at a Kansas City, Kansas, hospital.
