A Lenexa police officer was involved in a shooting Saturday afternoon.
Police said that at around 2:15 p.m., a patrol officer investigated a suspicious vehicle near West 83rd Street and Pflumm Road. During that investigation, according to police, the driver of the suspicious vehicle “rammed into” the officer’s parked patrol car.
The driver also hit the officer with the vehicle as he left the scene. The officer did not have serious injuries as a result of being struck. Police said the officer “discharged his department-issued handgun” at the suspect, as the suspect fled.
Officers in Shawnee later located the same suspicious vehicle, and the driver fled again, ultimately crashing near Blackfish Parkway and Lackman Road.
Lenexa police said that the driver, who was taken into custody, did sustain a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to a nearby hospital.
