Authorities say woman and child were with man before he shot Kansas sheriff and killed himself
Authorities say a woman and child were with a man when he shot and critically wounded a Kansas undersheriff.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation senior special agent Steve Rosebrough says the woman and a child left 37-year-old David Madden on Monday night before he shot the Rice County sheriff in the leg and killed himself. The KBI says Madden also killed his father, 65-year-old Thomas Madden.
The KBI says it’s unclear whether the woman and child accompanied Madden willingly. The relationship between Madden and the woman wasn’t known. Madden also is a suspect in the 2015 disappearance of his girlfriend.
Rosebrough said the undersheriff’s injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening. He is in critical but stable condition. The sheriff has been released.
