A Kansas City, Kansas, police captain was critically injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting happened just before 2 p.m. at 22nd Street and Haskell Avenue.
Police Chief Terry Zeigler tweeted to "start prayers."
Police said an officer responded to a call about an armed disturbance at Second Street and Edgerton Drive about 1:30 p.m. The caller reported that someone in a vehicle was firing shots in the area.
Investigators said officers reached the scene about five minutes later and said several people jumped out of the vehicle. One of those people was taken into custody right away.
Police said that while the captain, who was at the scene, tried to contact another fleeing suspect, shots were fired and the captain was hit. The captain was taken to a hospital with critical injuries.
Police said at least three people are in custody. They said there may be at least one other person out there.
Police are still mourning the loss of police Detective Brad Lancaster, who was shot and killed on May 9 while checking out a report of a suspicious person near the Hollywood Casino. The man arrested in that shooting has been charged with capital murder.
