KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred early Monday morning at an apartment complex in Kansas City, Kansas.
Just before 3a.m. Monday, a citizen called 911 to report that someone was shooting outside in the parking lot of an apartment complex near 61st St. and Leavenworth Road. When officers arrived on scene, they observed a man later identified as 21-year-old Dominic A. M. V. Lee of Kansas City, Kansas armed with a rifle leaning out of a window on the second floor of an apartment building.
Lee pointed the rifle toward a responding officer. A KCKPD officer fired one round in Lee’s direction, striking him in the shoulder.
Officers entered the apartment and took Lee into custody without further incident. EMS responded, and transported him to a Kansas City hospital where he was treated for his injuries. No officers were injured during the incident.
Lee was released from the hospital Monday afternoon, and was immediately arrested on a warrant for aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and Lee booked into the Wyandotte County Jail.
