Shots fired near Central Kansas pool spurs shootout with suspect
MINNEAPOLIS, Kan. (KCTV) – Shots fired near a Central Kansas swimming pool led to a shootout between law enforcement officials and a suspect before he was hit.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says that around 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, June 22, the manager of the Markley Grove Park Swimming Pool reported three gunshots were heard around the park.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office said it arrived on the scene around 8:25 a.m. along with the Minneapolis Police Department. When they arrived, they heard more shots fired.
Shortly thereafter, the Kansas Highway Patrol said Troopers also arrived on the scene when the shooter, Artemis Thor Peck, 46, of Minneapolis ran out of his home. He fired his gun at law enforcement officials and a surveillance drone.
Law enforcement officials indicated that return shots were fired and Peck was hit several times. He was taken to Salina Regional Health Center where he underwent surgery. He is set to be flown to a hospital in Wichita for more complex surgical procedures. He is expected to survive.
Investigators noted that there were swimmers at the pool and campers in the park at the time of the shooting. No other injuries were reported as a result.
KBI said it was notified of the officer-involved shooting around 9:55 a.m. and began an independent investigation into the shooting. Once it is finished, the results will be sent to the Ottawa County, Kan., Attorney for review. As a result, the pool and park were closed to the public on Saturday.
As of 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, the investigation remains ongoing.

Man sentenced to over 13 years for north Minneapolis homicide
A man has been sentenced to prison after a homicide in north Minneapolis earlier this year.
On Thursday, Marvin Dancy, 46, was sentenced to over 13 years (166 months) in prison for a shooting that killed 21-year-old Wence Edwards.
In November, Dancy pleaded guilty to second-degree unintentional murder and a separate count of illegal firearm possession was dismissed.
As previously reported, Minneapolis police responded to a shooting on Feb. 6 at the Handy Stop convenience store on the 2600 block of Broadway Avenue West.
Officers at the scene found a man, later identified as Edwards, in the alley behind the gas station with a life-threatening gunshot wound. Edwards died at the scene, MPD officials said.
“Mr. Dancy is being held accountable for his actions,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Edwards’ family as they grieve their immense loss.”
