The Salina Police Department this morning released the following statement concerning a shooting early Wednesday in south Salina.
On March 23, 2022, at approximately 1:58 a.m., officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2200 block of Wesley Street in reference to a 27-year-old male being shot. The male was transported to Salina Regional Health Center by ambulance with what is believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The police department’s preliminary investigative findings indicate that a domestic disturbance, involving several family members, occurred at the residence. The disturbance involved firearms and knives. Multiple shots were fired, and the 27-year-old male was shot more than once.
The Salina Police Department has been in consultation with the Saline County Attorney’s Office. At this time, it appears that the individual who shot the 27-year-old was acting in accordance with Kansas Statutes Annotated (KSA) 21-5222, Use of Force in defense of a person; no duty to retreat.
This case is still an active investigation, and circumstances could change. No arrests have been made at this time, and there is no indication of any danger to the public.
