A 34-year-old Kansas sheriff’s deputy was killed on Saturday when he was shot while responding to a domestic violence call, authorities said.
Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Deputy Elijah Ming was gunned down as he approached a home in Kansas City, Kansas, after a woman, concerned for her own safety, requested a deputy to accompany her as she moved out of the residence, officials said. Prior to the shooting, the woman informed police that a man with a gun inside the house had earlier threatened her and her friends when she first attempted to move out, according to officials.
“Deputy Ming gave his life serving Wyandotte County and all of its residents,” Wyandotte County Sheriff Daniel Soptic said at a news conference on Saturday, also noting that Ming was a 9-year veteran of the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office.
