Law enforcement officers across Kansas mourn the death of one of their own. Sedgwick County Deputy Robert Kunze and another deputy were responding to a suspicious person call yesterday. Sheriff Jeff Easter says the deputy leaves behind a wife and child. Easter says Kunze patted down the suspect and found a 40-caliber handgun. The suspect was being cuffed when the two scuffled and the deputy's weapon was discharged.
The suspect died at the scene. Kunze died at a Wichita hospital.
