Law enforcement can be a very dangerous profession because officers are working in highly dynamic situations. A quiet day could, in a moment’s notice, turn into a life-threatening situation with the next call.
Four law enforcement officers in Kansas were shot and wounded (and survived) at a home responding to a domestic violence call on Saturday morning. The incident is being investigated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
The shooting took place at approximately 10:30 am local time in the Carbondale area. The law enforcement officers were at the location for a short time until the gunfire started.
Three of the wounded officers were Deputies of the Osage County Sheriff’s Department, and the fourth officer was a trooper for the Kansas Highway Patrol.
