On April 23, 2026, at approximately 10:00 PM, a Dodge City Police Department officer was in the area when reports were received of a driver in a red pickup discharging a firearm toward another occupied vehicle.

The officer quickly located the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop; however, the driver fled, leading to a pursuit. The pursuit entered Wyatt Earp Boulevard and continued west out of the city limits. Ford County Sheriff’s deputies assisted as the pursuit continued north on 105 Road, ultimately ending in a field.

Upon making contact, deputies located the driver with what appears to be a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound. No officers or deputies discharged their fi****ms during the incident.

The incident remains under investigation.

El 23 de abril de 2026, aproximadamente a las 10:00 p.m., un oficial del Departamento de Policía de Dodge City se encontraba en el área cuando se recibieron reportes de un conductor en una camioneta roja que estaba disparando un arma de fuego hacia otro vehículo ocupado.

El oficial localizó rápidamente el vehículo e intentó realizar una parada de tráfico; sin embargo, el conductor huyó, lo que dio inicio a una persecución. La persecución ingresó a Wyatt Earp Boulevard y continuó hacia el oeste fuera de los límites de la ciudad. Agentes de la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Ford brindaron apoyo mientras la persecución continuaba hacia el norte por la carretera 105, finalizando en un campo.

Al hacer contacto, los agentes localizaron al conductor con lo que parece ser una herida de bala autoinfligida fatal. Ningún oficial o agente disparó su arma durante el incidente.

El caso continúa bajo investigación.
