Description
An investigation is underway after a Lawrence police officer shot a woman with a gun Sunday night.
According to a spokesperson with the Lawrence Police Department, shortly before 9 p.m. on April 27, officers responded to the 4600 block of North Richardt Avenue, near East 46th Street, on a report of a person armed with a gun.
A 911 caller said they witnessed a female point a gun at another female, the spokesperson said. Arriving officers heard sounds coming from a detached garage and saw a light on. The officers manually opened the garage and saw a woman inside.
The department spokesperson said the woman was yelling and holding a small dog in one arm and a gun in the other. The officers gave multiple commands for the woman to show her hands, police said, but the woman did not.
The woman then shot and killed the dog and raised the gun toward her head and officers, the spokesperson said. One Lawrence PD officer then fired one shot, hitting the woman in the shoulder, the spokesperson said.
