Authorities have captured a man who robbed a Kansas bank and later fired shots at a state trooper.
The First Bank of Chase reported the robbery at 10:20 a.m. Tuesday. That evening, a state trooper spotted a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle in the robbery.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the vehicle would not stop, and the trooper began pursuing it at 6:25 p.m. on K-4 Highway south of the city of Salina.
The vehicle later crashed on Assaria Road, south of the town of Gypsum. When the vehicle crashed, gunfire was exchanged between the suspect and the trooper. The suspect fled on foot.
The Kansas Highway Patrol and local agencies searched the area for the suspect, deploying aircraft, canine units, the Special Response Team, and officers son the ground.
The suspect was subsequently taken into custody without further incident. The state trooper, a woman and child were injured in the incident.
The FBI and KBI have joined the investigation.
