KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three Osage County Sheriff's deputies and a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper were shot in an incident Saturday morning south of Topeka.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says the incident took place around 10:30 a.m. Saturday at a residence near 113th Street and S. Topeka Boulevard in Osage County.
A KBI spokesperson said officials had responded to the residence on a domestic disturbance call after a woman who lives at the house called 911.
When law enforcement arrived, they encountered the suspect, identified as Stephen M. McMillan, 22, outside the house.
The KBI said gunfire was exchanged and three deputies and two KHP troopers fired their weapons.
Three deputies, one trooper, McMillan, and McMillan's 77-year-old grandfather were shot.
McMillan was pronounced dead at the scene.
His grandfather was taken to the hospital.
The injured law enforcement officers were taken to an area hospital and the trooper was later transferred to the University of Kansas Health System.
Two of the deputies underwent surgery and are in good condition, and the other was released from the hospital.
The trooper and McMillan's grandfather are expected to recover.
The KBI says there is no active threat to the public at this time.
The investigation has been turned over to the KBI.
