Some tense moments Monday morning in Topeka, where police arrested a man suspected of killing two police officers last night. Reporters at the scene noted a dramatic police response at a home in central Topeka, that included a SWAT team, tear gas, and a police dog who apparently dragged the suspect out of the home.

Authorities now confirm that the suspect has died from gunshot wounds. A news conference was scheduled Monday afternoon to fill in the blanks.

Police in the Topeka say two of their officers shot outside a grocery store have died at a hospital.

The officers were shot responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle near the store. They have been identified as 50-year-old Cpl. David Gogian and 29-year-old Officer Jeff Atherly.

Police officials announced the news of the officers’ deaths Sunday night as a small crowd gathered nearby for a candlelight vigil outside police headquarters.

In a news release, police identified the suspect as 22-year-old David Edward Tiscareno, described as a Native American male who is 5’10” tall and weighs 217 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. Police described Tiscareno as “armed and extremely dangerous.”

Gogian had been with the department since September 2004 and Atherly since April 2011.
