SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a road-rage shooting.
Just after 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, police were dispatched to a shooting near the intersection of Central and Ridge in Wichita, according to Officer Trevor Macy.
Officers arrived and located a 35-year-old man with a single gunshot wound. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment and is expected to survive.
It is believed that this is a road-rage incident involving two drivers.
Investigators learned that the 35-year-old man was westbound on Central when he got into a verbal altercation with another westbound driver. The two vehicles stopped on Central, and the 35-year-old exited his vehicle and approached the other driver’s window.
An altercation ensued, which led to a single shot being fired. The man then returned to his vehicle, and both drivers pulled into the parking lot on the NW corner of Central and Ridge, where they made contact with officers.
The second driver, a 39-year-old male uniformed security officer, remained on scene and was questioned by detectives.
