Teen gets stuck in Reno County ditch, man shoots at her, sheriff’s office says
HUTCHINSON, Kan. (KSNW) — A Reno County man is in jail after a shooting Saturday night. Investigators say the man allegedly shot at a teenager who got her vehicle stuck in a ditch and at the girl’s father, who was trying to help her get unstuck.
The Reno County Sheriff’s Office says the shooting call came in around 7:45 from the area of Trail West Road and Langdon Road, west of Plevna.
A father told investigators that his daughter was following him home from working in the field and got her vehicle stuck in the ditch.
A man who lives in the area allegedly fired four shots from a .22 caliber revolver directly toward the father and daughter and another two shots from a long rifle, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities booked the alleged shooter into jail on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated child endangerment.
The sheriff’s office says the case is still under investigation.
