‼️ NOT WICHITA ‼️
‎

12:20 Update:
🙏Prayers for Carbondale, KS (south of Topeka).🙏
‎

Reports of a shooting with multiple victims. Requesting at least 3 medical helicopters.
‎

10:58AM: Multiple AMR ambulances arriving, State Troopers are assisting with driving ambulances so medical crews can be in the back providing care. (Note: Wichita and SedgCo FD also do this with critical patients)
‎

12:20PM: Very limited to scanner access in that part of the state at the moment (solution coming soon), so I'm working off of limited information. It sounds like an AMR ambulance carrying a KHP Trooper and an Osage County Sheriff's deputy with GSW's (driven by another Trooper) has made it to a hospital in Topeka. 2 Osage County EMS Ambulances also have transported and arrived at that hospital. From what I have deduced from multiple sources, a total of 5 people shot, suspect deceased, 4 law enforcement officers shot have been transported. 1 is a KHP trooper for sure, 2 Osage County Deputies and the 4th is most likely Osage County Deputy (if not a Trooper). -- Some sources were saying 2 Troopers, 2 Deputies -- radio traffic sounded like 1 Trooper, 3 Deputies.
‎

Several law enforcement agencies from the region responded. Shawnee County Sheriff's Office, Topeka Police Department & Kansas Bureau of Investigation on-scene as well as a few other agencies. Portions of US75 have been blocked due to the crime scene location, Troopers requested KDOT to be paged to assist with blocking traffic as it is a very hazardous stretch of highway.

Wichita Police are trying out a new AXON tool that translates in real time. Some officers are already using it while they’re out on calls. It’s basically meant to help everyone communicate better, no matter what language they speak.

What are your thoughts on this??

**Developing Story**
According to a press conference held by Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter, the Sheriff’s Office, with help from the ATF and WPD Swat Team executed a total of eight search warrants today, November 13th. The investigation stems from a joint ATF and SGSO investigation into the suspected sale of ma*****na, m**h, and fentanyl. Sheriff Easter said the investigation also expanded into illegal gun trades.
-
The warrants were served at a total of six High Hopes retail locations around the city as well as two houses, one on 119th St W and the other on Hydraulic.
=
The Sheriff reports that they have two males in custody. Both are reported to have prior federal cases, and their names will be released once they are booked into jail.

An affidavit has been released in connection with the May 22nd motorcycle crash that killed 27-year-old Allan Smith.
‎

Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to write up a full summary yet, but I wanted to share the affidavit for anyone interested.
‎
Read the affidavit- https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZacHg5ZTsB0EAy3br77OGk0tVU4w5XyEPzy
‎
‎

The crash happened just before 5:35 PM near Harry & Wichita St in south Wichita. Allan was riding westbound on his motorcycle when a pickup driven by 57-year-old Serafin Hernandez-Torres turned left in front of him, causing the two to collide in the intersection. Allan was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries.
‎
Police determined alcohol was a factor in the crash. A breath test taken at 8:16 PM—nearly three hours after the crash—showed Serafin’s BAC was 0.212, nearly three times the legal limit.
‎
He was arrested that night for Involuntary Manslaughter while under the influence & booked into Sedgwick County Jail on a $150,000 bond, which was later reduced to $100,000. He was formally charged on May 28th & on June 6th, with the help of Wichita Bonding Company, he was released after paying $10,000.
‎ ‎

He's due back in court on December 15th.

Angelynn Mock, 48, has been charged with one count of Intentional & Premeditated First Degree Murder. This charge stems from the October 31st stabbing death of Mock’s mother, 80-year-old Anita Avers.
