    Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting in Junction City.

    The Junction City Police Department says officers were called to the 300 block of West Fourth Street late Saturday afternoon for a person possibly suffering from gunshot wounds. When officers arrived, they discovered 66-year-old John Day, of Junction City, with an apparent gunshot wound.

    Day was transported to Stormont Vail Flint Hills Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

    Police identified and interviewed individuals at the scene, but so far have not made any arrests.

    After an investigation is completed, police said the case will be presented to the Geary County District
    Attorney’s Office for review.

    Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Junction City Police Department at (785) 762-5912 or Crime Stoppers at (785) 762-8477.
