‘Lack of all cooperation’ hampering investigation into shooting that hurt woman: cops

Updated 10:20 a.m. Friday: Police say a 30-year-old woman suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries in a shooting reported Thursday afternoon in the 400 block of West Hazel Court. But authorities don’t yet know everything about what prompted the shooting due to a “lack of all cooperation in this investigation,” according to a Friday email from Wichita police spokesman Officer Charley Davidson.

The woman was taken to a Wichita hospital for treatment of her injuries shortly after police officers arrived at the scene, near 55th Street South and Broadway, at around 3:30 p.m. Thursday. Investigators know that the shooting occurred during what police are calling “a disturbance” at the address between the woman and a suspect. But other details are unclear.

“This was not a random incident,” Davidson said in the email, adding that: “Investigators are currently working to determine the circumstances of what occurred.”

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Wichita police detectives at 316-268-4407, Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111 or the See Something, Say Something hotline at 316-519-2282.
