A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper and suspect are expected to recover after an officer-involved shooting around 8 p.m. Thursday during a pursuit on I-470 near Lawrence.
According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, a KHP trooper attempted to stop a pick-up truck for showing a stolen license plate. The truck did not stop and a short chase ensued. Troopers deployed tire deflation devices, and the pick-up truck ran into a KHP patrol car. The officer then fired on the suspect.
The KBI said both the suspect and officer were transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. The suspect is expected to make a full recovery, and the officer was released from the medical center.
