KS - Rice County Sheriff and Undersheriff shot by POI in missing woman's case

[perfectingpink]

Kansas Bureau of Investigation

The Rice County Sheriff and Undersheriff were shot at separate locations in Rice County on Monday evening. KBI agents responded to investigate the shooting, and assist in attempts to apprehend the suspect.
Preliminary information indicates that at approximately 5:10 p.m. Monday, April 29, the Rice County Undersheriff attempted a car stop near the Sonic Restaurant, just north of the Sterling city limits. The car stop was related to a warrant for the vehicle’s occupant, David L. Madden, 37, of Alden.
Within approximately thirty seconds of initiating the car stop, the Undersheriff radioed to dispatch that he had been shot. EMS responded, and he was flown to a Wichita hospital. He is being treated for four gunshot wounds, and is currently in critical, but stable condition.
Following the shooting of the Undersheriff, the Rice County Sheriff learned information that Madden likely fled to a residence in rural Rice County, southeast of Raymond. He and another sheriff’s deputy arrived at the residence and encountered Madden. Gunshots were exchanged, and one round struck the Sheriff in the leg.
The Sheriff and deputy called for assistance and additional law enforcement agencies responded. Authorities were able to surround the home, and establish a perimeter.
The Sheriff was taken to a hospital in Lyons, Kan., and was then transported to a Wichita hospital. The Sheriff is currently in good condition.
The standoff at the residence in Rice County continues with multiple law enforcement agencies on scene.

Oh no, I wonder if he shot his own father too?

He shot two officers, may have killed his ex gf, and may have killed his Dad. I bet he shoots himself before this is over.

Rice County sheriff, undersheriff shot, injured, two bodies found in home

Update 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, April 30, 2019

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation confirms the bodies of two men have been found inside a home in rural Rice county where law enforcement were previously involved in a standoff.

Cory Latham with the KBI says a Kansas Highway Patrol Swat Team forced entry into the home and found the men. Latham would not confirm the men's identities until they have spoken with their families, but they do say there is no threat to the public.

Latham says the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will sweep the house for explosives before KBI enters the home to investigate. Court documents say AFT agents previously searched Madden's home and found crates containing 24 separate metal pipe bombs and an unregistered AK-47.

KBI: Suspect, father dead in Rice Co. shooting, sheriff and undersheriff wounded
Update: 11:08 a.m.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) announced that the standoff with a suspect who shot the Rice County Sheriff and Undersheriff Monday evening ended just after midnight on Tuesday morning.

At approximately 12:10 a.m., authorities located the body of David L. Madden inside the residence at 490 Avenue S. in Raymond, Kan. Also, found deceased in the home was Thomas T. Madden, 65, the father of the suspect, and owner of the home where the standoff occurred. No threat to the public exists any longer as a result of these shootings.

The investigation suggests that when Madden shot the Undersheriff, a female and a child accompanied him in the vehicle. Madden then fled the area and drove to his residence in Alden to retrieve guns and ammunition. He then went to his father’s home, where it is believed he fatally shot Thomas Madden prior to the Sheriff and deputy arriving. Then it is believed the female left the scene. A short time later, when the Sheriff arrived, which was at approximately 5:40 p.m., he was fired upon and shot in the leg.

"The last thing he said was, 'I'm sorry I took you hostage. I love you so much. I'll always be with you,'" Baker says.

Minutes earlier, she says, Madden pointed a gun at her after shooting Rice County Undersheriff Chad Murphy.

"He told me to leave and I said 'no,'" Baker says. "And he turned and pointed the gun at me and told me I needed to go."

Monday, Baker says, she saw a David she didn't know.

"I knew him for almost a year and I knew him very well, and I never would have thought we would be put in that situation," she says.

Baker says when their vehicle was pulled over by Murphy Monday, sitting in the passenger seat, Madden already had his gun in his lap. She says when Murphy walked around to the passenger side and told him to get out, Madden started shooting.

She says Madden then ordered her to drive to his house in Alden where he got more guns and ammunition. She says she and her son got away once they got to David's father's house near Raymond.

"It breaks my heart (my son) had to see that and go through that. I wish he wasn't with us. I wish he didn't have to see it," Baker says.

"He wanted people to know he's not the monster people made him out to be, even after this incident," she says.

Wednesday, Eyewitness News also asked her about the disappearance of Megan Foglesong, in which the KBI identified Madden as a suspect.

"I honestly believe he had nothing to do with it,"Baker says.

Baker says investigators questioned her and currently, she is not facing any charges in connection with what happened Monday. She says she wishes she could have done more to prevent what unfolded. She says her son is currently with his father and she is fighting for the boy's custody.
