Kansas police duo shot dead by prisoner on journey between court and jail
Officials said inmate may have used one of officers’ own guns to shoot Theresa King and Patrick Rohrer during a struggle
Two Kansas sheriff’s deputies who were shot and killed by an inmate while transporting him between the courthouse and jail were both parents, authorities said on Saturday.
The inmate, whose name was not immediately released, shot Wyandotte county deputies Theresa King and Patrick Rohrer on Friday in a gated area behind the county courthouse. He may have used one of the deputies’ own guns to shoot them during a struggle after he got out of the van, authorities said.
The inmate was also shot and underwent surgery on Friday. Terry Zeigler, the police chief of Kansas City, Kansas, said at a news conference on Saturday that as far as he knew, the man was in stable condition.
Rohrer, 35, died shortly after the shooting. He had been with the force for seven years and leaves two young children, Wyandotte county sheriff’s Maj Kelli Bailiff said. King, 44, died early on Saturday at a hospital. She had three children, including a young one.

I just gotta ask, did this prisoner have on a waist chain and handcuffs in the front or the side mount, with chain going down to the leg irons ................

Interesting how they frame the police officers. I wonder if they've ever said "This police officer is a parent'...when they are showing a cop brutally slaying someone guilty of-at best-a misdemeanor.
Honestly, almost all I know cop-wise and decent people and tend to be easy going and are easy to laugh. (Around here.) Whatever is going on in the rest of the country I can't vouch for.
just wish they wouldn't write stuff up like that.
