ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (KSNW) — Three men from Arkansas City are in custody Thursday following the shooting of a man from Wichita.
According to the Arkansas City Police Department (ACPD), at 2:42 p.m., officers responded to the report of a possible shooting in the 700 block of S. A St.
Upon arrival, they found a 35-year-old man from Wichita with gunshot wounds to his lower body.
The man was taken by Arkansas City EMS to a local medical center and then to Wichita for further treatment.
The ACPD says at about the same time as the initial call, they were made aware of a blue Dodge Durango leaving the scene at a high rate of speed. Preliminary reports indicated that a possible suspect was in the car.
Officers say they later found the Durango and attempted to conduct a stop when it sped up, leading the officers on a pursuit south of City limits.
During the pursuit, the Durango crashed on Home Road, about three miles west of U.S. Route 77 in Oklahoma.
The ACPD says a 21-year-old man was taken into custody for the pursuit.
Back at the scene in Arkansas City, officers say they checked a home next to where the shooting victim was found.
A 31-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, both from Arkansas City, were taken into custody—one in relation to the shooting and the other for warrants.
The ACPD says there is no danger to the public.
