Police shoot suspect after man killed in Manhattan

FORT RILEY, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating after a man was shot and killed and the suspect was later shot and injured by a Riley County police officer.

The KBI says three officers responding to gunshots at a Manhattan bar early Saturday found 21-year-old Joshua J. Wardi, of Fort Riley, suffering from a gunshot wound. He died at the scene.

Two officers pursued an armed suspect seen running from a bar in Manhattan's Aggieville district.

The KBI says one officer shot the suspect, 19-year-old Tremelle R. Montgomery, of Fort Riley, in the leg. Montgomery was in fair and stable condition Saturday.

No officers were injured.
