A 28-year-old man is dead after being shot by a Wichita police officer who was investigating a call of a possible homicide and hostage situation at the corner of Seneca and McCormick on Thursday night.
Deputy Police Chief Troy Livingston said police received a called of a shooting at around 6:15 p.m.
It was a shooting call involving hostages, he said. The original call, we were told someone had an argument with their mother and dad was accidentally shot. And now that person was holding mother, brother and sister hostage. We learned through that call that a father was deceased, and had been shot in the head. That was the information we were working off of.
Officers went to the 1000 block of McCormick, preparing for a hostage situation, he said.
A male came to the front door, as he came to the front door, one of our officers discharged his weapon, Livingston said.
Livingston didnt say if the man was carrying a weapon when he came to the door, or what caused the officer to shoot the man. Police dont think he fired at officers, but the incident is still under investigation, he said.
The injured man was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The officer, a 7-year veteran of the police department, will be placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy.
When officers got inside the house, they didnt find anyone with gunshot wounds, Livingston said.
We have a lot of information to go through, Livingston said. Investigators are still at the scene and several officers will be interviewed.
At least four people who were inside the home were taken out without injury and are being interviewed.
We were given some misinformation on the (original) call, he said. We got a call that someone was deceased in the residence and that proved not to be true. Also, were still trying to determine who was the hostages and how that unfolded as well.
Reports that two possible shooting victims were in critical condition also proved untrue.
Asked if the original call was meant to be a prank, Livingston said that is something police will look into.
Police expect to release more information Friday afternoon.

It was over a $1.50 online gaming bet. One online jerk gave the other a fake home address, and the police went there in response to the bogus 911 call.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
If you open your door to the police, they should shoot you?
How did you come up with that after what I wrote?

Big lawsuit here... it's been reported by the department spokesman that the unfortunate victim in this incident wasn't following verbal directives from LE. He probably didn't have a clue what was going on or know what to do.
If the officer broke the law... he should be charged.

It's Latin, and means "Not gold, but iron redeems the native land".
Whatever the hell that means.
The words were uttered by Marcus Furius Camillus, in response to ransom of 1000 pounds of gold paid by Rome to lift a siege by the Gauls. Iron was considered the metal of war, so his use of "iron" got his point across. He went on to defeat the Gauls and redeem the native land.
I could see and vote for a manslaughter charge on the prankster. Making these kinds of calls falsely should certainly qualify as 3rd degree murder when someone gets killed.
On a different note, this may be a good case where innocent and surprised civilians are finally recognized to be entitled to be reasonably surprised by a police encounter and should not be shot for failure to recover from that surprise quickly enough. I for one am really tired of this "reaching for waistband" crap when the waistband is, after all, the natural place for ones hands to be in most situations.
Police should be retrained, to stop to be so trigger happy. Invite British instructors
Um... of course training is the ONLY course... but it's a bandaid. There is no erraticing this as long as "5 Deputies Shot, One Fatally, by Colorado Gunman, Officials Say" incidents occur, you'll always have trigger happy officers in ALL JURISDICTIONS.
It is what it is.
Being like progressive libtard U.K. Is not the answer... you'll see them shooting an unarmed bloke or two soon enough... give them fags a little time. Their society is just starting to get as violent as ours.

Even if the police force got the same privileges, weapons and procedures Israeli army has versus Palestinian population, you will not eradicate risk to the officers, perhaps you will increase it.
Number of policemen killed as a result of crime in USA is about 50 a year (http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36826297). Number of civilians is about 1 thousand. This proportion is satisfactory to you?
To compare to UK: "The 12 months to April 2016 saw cops discharge their weapons just seven times, with three people killed." (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4103923/police-shootings-uk-2017/)
Don't tell me, that it is because of blacks, they make no more than 1/4 of people killed in USA, and UK also has many blacks and immigrants.

Funny how you seem to imply blacks don't murder at a higher rate that whites,while completely ignoring their NON-FIREARM murder rate in England.

They are more violent in the Muslim areas. We just don't hear about it because the British news doesn't want to be accused of racism,so they don't report it as often.
The British Police now have special squads armed with automatic weapons that roam around in vans in case unarmed Bobby's need backup. Which they DO need if they have to go into any of the Muslim areas of town or cities controlled by Muslims.
Another reason you don't hear much about crime in those enclaves is they are ruled by Sharia Law,not English Law. Enlish Law only applies of they leave their ghettos.

As a matter of fact, liberal scumbag, YES, it is.
Between DUE PROCESS for officers and the fact that officers are normally given the benefit of the doubt since they DON'T have a choice to be involved in deadly asshole incidents... yes, 1000 to 50 sounds good. Even if one of my relatives is in the 1000 group.

Isn't it interesting, how you continually rub elbows with admitted liberals of LF.
You show also some paranoid delusions. I am not a liberal and I would never admit such mislabel.
Anyone critical of the establishment, who thinks cops should be held accountable or who isn't a die-hard supporter of Trump is a "liberal" to that foul-mouthed poster.
His spittle-flecked tirades towards the sane posters here are growing tiresome.
