Suspect shot, wounded in suburban Kansas City

police shootingOVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a suspect was shot and wounded in suburban Kansas City as the U.S. Marshals Service was attempting to take him into custody.

The Overland Park Police Department said in a news release that it is investigating the shooting. It happened just before 4 p.m. Wednesday as a team of law enforcement officers from multiple agencies were moving in on the suspect. The release didn’t say what led up to the shooting, and the Marshals Service didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Police said the suspect was taken to a hospital, and his condition, name and what he was being sought for weren’t immediately released. No officers were injured.
