Cowley County, KS – Three sheriff’s deputies were shot by a woman during a suspicious vehicle stop in Cowley County on Friday.
The incident occurred about five miles north of Winfield, near U.S. Highway 77 and 122nd Road, according to KSHB.
Cowley County Sheriff David Falletti told reporters at the scene that the deputies were responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle.
Sheriff Falletti said that when the deputies made contact with the woman driving the suspect vehicle, she opened fire and a gun battle ensued.
The sheriff said three deputies were shot.
He said deputies had returned fire and the suspect was fatally shot.
One of the wounded heroes was airlifted to a hospital in Wichita for treatment, according to Sheriff Falletti.
A second wounded deputy was transported via ambulance, according to KSHB.
Officials have not released any information about the third wounded hero’s condition but the sheriff’s department said they had also been transported to the hospital.
At the conference, the city’s police chief, Eric Winstrom, refused to name the officer who shot Lyoya because he has not been charged with any crime. The officer, however, is on paid leave pending the investigation.
The videos – from the police car’s camera, the camera worn by the officer, a neighborhood home surveillance camera, and the passenger’s phone – show Lyoya and another passenger being pulled over in a residential neighborhood. After the police car and the car Lyoya is driving come to a stop, Lyoya exits the vehicle despite the officer yelling at him to “stay in the car” repeatedly.
The police officer tries to bring Lyoya over to the police car but is again met with a struggle. It seems that the officer pulls out his taser, which is then grabbed by Lyoya. You can hear the officer repeatedly demand him to “let go of the taser,” which Lyoya doesn’t appear to listen to.
