The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) is investigating the death of a man in an officer-involved shooting Saturday night in Sumner County.
Just before 10:30 p.m., two officers with the Wellington Police Department arrived at a home in the 1100 block of E. 7th St in Wellington to the report of a disturbance.
The woman who reported the incident told police her boyfriend, identified as Harley Bagby, 30 of Wellington, was inside tearing up the residence.
When officers entered the home, Bagby exited a bedroom into the hallway with a large knife. Officers commanded Bagby to drop the knife but he did not comply and approached the officers. One officer fired multiple times and struck Bagby, who was pronounced dead at approximately 11:05 p.m.
The officer has been placed on paid administrative leave. When the KBI finishes their independent investigation, the findings will be turned over to the Sumner County Attorney for review.
