SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating an officer involved shooting that sent a man to the hospital with serious injuries.
Just after 11p.m. Tuesday, Wichita Police were investigating a previous complaint of domestic violence in the 1600 Block of North Wood Street in Wichita, according to Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter.
Officers arrived at the home and attempted to place a 42-year-old suspect into custody. He resisted arrest, retreated into the home, drew a gun from his waistband and pointed it at the officers.
An officer shot the man. Other officers then gave medical attention to the suspect and called for EMS who transported the suspect to a local hospital in serious condition. No shots were fired at officers.
The suspect is still in the hospital and will be arrested and booked into jail after he is released. When the Sedgwick County Sheriff's office shooting investigation is complete, the results will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney.
