The exchange of fire took place after the Cowley County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 at around 11:45 a.m. on Friday reported a “suspicious” black Jeep Liberty in the area, KBI said. When police located the vehicle, the driver refused to get out of the car at their request. “When they tried to remove her from the SUV, the woman pulled out a pistol and they exchanged fire,” KBI officials told the press release. The driver lost his life in the collision. The driver’s name has not been released pending family notification of the death. KBI said it would conduct an independent investigation into the shooting. Cowley County is located about 50 miles south of Wichita, Kansas.
