KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City, Kansas, man who fired shots at Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office deputies during a pursuit in 2025 has pleaded guilty to two charges.
Andrew Amundsen entered a guilty plea April 29 for one count of attempted capital murder and one count of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, per court documents.
The charges stemmed from a Nov. 21, 2025, incident where officers were called to the 16900 block of Dempsey Road after a resident reported being threatened.
