OVERLAND PARK, KAN - Police in Overland Park are investigating after an officer shot and killed a suspect during a brief chase through a parking lot.
According to authorities, police were dispatched after a driver said that people in a car next to her flashed a gun near the intersection of 95th and Metcalf. Officers say that they tracked the suspects down to a parking lot in the area of 95th and Quivira, where an police officer shot and wounded the driver of the vehicle after the driver tried to flee the scene, dragging two or three officers through the parking lot.
Police say that an officer spotted a gun on the floorboard of the vehicle, and shot the driver at least once and possible multiple times after they made a move towards the gun.
Several officers were treated at the scene for minor injuries. The suspect was taken to a metro hospital where he later died of his injuries.

This happened at about 4:30 around 2-3 miles away from my house. My mom told me about it around 7:00 when I got home. Around 8:00pm, I drove down that main road (95th) on my way to the auto parts store and noticed a fire truck and merged over into the only lane available (of a 3 lane road) ... as i drove by i noticed countless cop cars, a couple "mobile command centers" for different cities, a couple Crime Scene Investigator vans, etc. After I drove by I texted a friend about it and then when he replied I realized what my mom had told me earlier. Pretty crazy... I drove by the parking lot on my way back home and got a picture with my cell phone. Keep in mind this picture was taken after 8:30pm and the shooting occurred at like 4:30pm.
