LAWRENCE, Kan. — Two people were injured and the suspect later died after a shooting at a Lawrence sports bar early Sunday.
Police responded just after 2 a.m. to Playerz Sports Bar, 1910 Haskell Avenue.
Prior to their arrival, officers learned that a male and female were shot in the parking lot and suffered serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.
Officers located the suspect vehicle a short time later, and attempted to initiate a car stop.
The suspect — identified Wednesday as Terry D. Scearce III of Lawrence — tried to evade officers, but eventually stopped near East 23rd Street and O'Connell Road.
Scearce was discovered in his vehicle with serious, life-threatening injuries from what appeared to be a gunshot wound and was transported to an area hospital.
Scearce died from his injuries, Lawrence police said Wednesday. Police did not offer additional details on how Scearce was shot.
