2 Kansas officers fatally shot outside market
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities say a man suspected in the fatal shooting of two Topeka police officers has died after an armed standoff with law enforcement at a house in the city.
The man is suspected of killing 50-year-old Cpl. David Gogian and 29-year-old Jeff Atherly as they responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle Sunday night.
Shawnee County officials say in a statement that Kansas Bureau of Investigation officers tried to negotiate with the suspect before firing tear gas into the home.
The statement says he emerged from the home carrying a gun and officers shot him. He was taken to a hospital where he died of his injuries early Monday.
It wasn't clear if the suspect fired his gun.

My sympathies to the family, friends & fellow officers. Routine calls can be anything but routine.
He did fire his gun, and ended the lives of those two officers, who cares rather or not if he fired his gun in that stand off, I applaud the officers who wasted him :)
Society is breaking up a bit. That's the only answer for all of the violent crime. Economy and crap go nowhere not representing The People government have brought so many to the breaking point.Â
