Wichita police say a man involved in a hit-&-run crash at about 10:00 a.m. Thursday pointed a gun at a witness, and also fired the gun at officers.
The crash was in the northwest part of Wichita at 13th & West. A witness followed the suspect’s vehicle and said the man pointed a gun at him.
An officer arrived in the area of Zoo Boulevard & Westdale (south of I-235), finding a man who matched the description of the suspect.
Police say the man fired multiple rounds at the officer, who was not hit; the officer says he did not return fire because of all the homes in the area.
Officers chased the suspect on foot, and the chase ended when the suspect shot himself; he was hospitalized in critical condition.
