Two Kansas deputies were shot and wounded in the north-central part of the state, and the suspect then shot himself, officials said Tuesday.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Melissa Underwood says the suspect entered the Jewell County Sheriff's Office in Mankato around 8 a.m. Tuesday. There was a "disturbance," the man shot the deputies and fled.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says a trooper spotted the suspect's vehicle about 45 minutes later, 35 miles (55 kilometers) southeast of Mankato, near Glasco. He drove another 20 miles (30 kilometers) before letting out passengers, then took off again.
A trooper performed a "tactical vehicle intervention" at 9:11 a.m. The suspect lost control of the vehicle. Troopers found him inside the vehicle with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Authorities have not released the condition of the deputies or the suspect.
