The trooper was transferred from the same hospital to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.<br><br>\u201cAfter being on scene less than 10 minutes, gunfire erupted,\u201d patrol Superintendent Erik Smith said during a news conference at the Carbondale City Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbondale is a town of about 1,300 people about 16 miles (26 kilometers) south of Topeka, the state capital, off Interstate 75.<br><br>The shooting stunned neighbors John and Heather Roberts, who live about a mile north of where it occurred on the same two-lane road. They never sensed any problem in any of the family members, such as drugs, alcohol abuse or violence, and they said the suspect\u2019s grandmother gave Christian books to area children she knew.<br><br>They said it is not uncommon to see law enforcement vehicles on the road outside their home because they live at the line between Osage County, home to Carbondale, and Shawnee County, home to Topeka, and vehicles turn around there or the counties exchange prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Roberts said he was putting siding on his barn when two law enforcement vehicles flew down the road in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth of them were running, I would say, well over 100 miles an hour as they went by,\u201d he said. \u201cThen the city of Topeka officers started going by. That\u2019s when I started to really get concerned.\u201d<br><br>He said the suspect visited the shop he has at his home to return tools and was \u201ca good kid.\u201d Roberts added that many families in the area own guns because hunting is a common hobby, and that was the case with this family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love the family. They\u2019re great people,\u201d Heather Roberts said, adding that she and her husband were praying for the wounded officers too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said every time the suspect visited their home, he would give her a hug and he was \u201cvery respectful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what snapped in him today, but his grandparents loved him very much,\u201d she said.<br><br>Reprinted from the Associated Press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four law enforcement officers were shot Saturday mornin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[4836,5002,5004],"class_list":["post-5734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa","tag-enforcement","tag-law","tag-officers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 -
