State and local law enforcement have arrested two people suspected of being involved in the shooting of a police officer during a vehicle chase.
The Salina police officer is expected to make a full recovery after being shot in the foot during the car chase early Sunday morning, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in a news release. One suspect was arrested after a crash and the other was arrested hours later near Topeka.
The incident began at around 2:30 a.m., when the Salina police officer saw a silver 2006 Lincoln Town Car fail to stop at multiple stop signs, KBI spokesperson Melissa Underwood said in a statement. The officer tried to initiate a traffic stop on North Ninth Street in Thomas Park, but the driver of the vehicle did not stop.
