Two killed and one injured in shooting between Wichita and Derby
A man and a woman died after being shot and a man was injured Saturday morning in the 4300 block of South Rock Road, Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Lt. Benjamin Blick said in a news release.
A 911 caller said he was shot several times, including in the “face, head and arms,” according to emergency communications.
The address listed in 911 emergency communications is where Anthony Bowman and his fiancee have been renting for just over a month. Bowman said the shooting happened across the street.
Bowman and his fiancee said a bang woke them up at 3:30 a.m. and they assumed it was fireworks. Just before 6 a.m., officers knocked on their door and told them someone was shot by their mailbox, he said.
Bowman left for work later that morning. When he tried to get back home around 1 p.m., Bowman said he was told he couldn’t go home for a few hours since it could contaminate a crime scene.
Officers still had the area blocked off at 1:30 p.m. They had a tent in the middle of Rock Road along with several other vehicles.
Officials have not released the names of the victims or said what led to the shooting.
