WICHITA, KANSAS—A 12-year veteran of a Kansas sheriff’s office and a suspected vehicle thief were fatally shot when a fight broke out during the suspect’s arrest in a rural area of Wichita, authorities said.
Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter said Deputy Robert Kunze was shot on the afternoon of Sept. 16, after receiving a call about a black truck that had been stolen. He said the 41-year-old Kunze was “an exceptional deputy.”
