Person shoots officer, barricades himself before surrendering, Manhattan police say

One police officer was shot as a subject barricaded himself in a residential area of Manhattan before turning himself over, police said.

Officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at around noon Friday in the 3700 block of Hawthorne Woods Terrace. One of the initial responding officers was struck by one round fired by a male subject who barricaded himself inside a home, Riley County Police Department Director Brad Schoen said.

The officer was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening wounds, and another female subject made it out of the home safely, he said.

Police negotiated and talked the subject into surrendering at around 3 p.m. He was uninjured when he surrendered, Schoen said.

The subject is in custody, but Schoen said it is too early to determine what charges will be filed.

“In this particular case, when one of ours was shot, and we were able to peacefully take into custody the individual in question, I think that speaks volumes about the professionalism, the commitment and the culture of the organization you see here,” Schoen said. “The subject wasn’t injured in the slightest when he came out to turn himself over to the police.”

Bergman Elementary School, which was about two blocks away from where the officer was shot, was placed on lockdown as students at other city schools could not be bused to homes in the area during the active-shooter situation, school officials said on Facebook.
