KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred Sunday night in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department (KCKPD) requested KBI assistance at approximately 10:25 p.m. Sunday, May 17. KBI agents and the Crime Scene Response Team responded to the scene.
At approximately 9:37 p.m., 911 dispatch received multiple reports of active gunfire in the 3400 block of North 40th Street, with residents reporting that homes and vehicles were being struck by gunfire. One individual at a neighboring residence sustained a gunshot wound and was later transported to a local hospital in stable condition.
KCKPD officers arrived at a residence at 3428 N. 40th St. at approximately 9:41 p.m. and immediately came under fire from inside the home. Multiple officers discharged their firearms during the encounter. Gunfire continued from the residence into the surrounding neighborhood until approximately 10:02 p.m., when the suspect exited the home and surrendered to law enforcement.
The suspect, identified as Terry Lee Frye, 62, of Kansas City, Kansas, was arrested without further incident and was uninjured.
A second individual sustained a minor injury while seeking cover and was also transported for medical treatment. No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
This independent investigation aims to discover all events leading up to the officer-involved shooting. In police use of force cases, the KBI releases details to the public as soon as possible. This information is preliminary in nature and is based on evidence collected and early statements of the parties involved, witnesses, medical personnel, and others. It does not represent final or thorough findings, which take several weeks to complete.
The investigation remains ongoing. Once the investigation is complete, the findings will be presented to the Wyandotte County District Attorney for review.
