A Wichita man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting at police officers during a protest in 2020. According to the District Attorney's Office; in the early morning of June 2nd, 2020, officers from the Wichita Police Department were in the area of 900 West 21st attempting to "disperse an unruly crowd." WPD SWAT officers deployed tear gas, and shortly after one of the officers in the riot line "came under gunfire."
Court documents report officers testified that several rounds skipped off of the ground around officers, and two riot helmets worn by officers were struck by bullets or fragments.
