PRATT, Kan. (AP) — A man shot by police earlier this month near the small Kansas town of Pratt has died.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says 38-year-old Rene Prieto died Wednesday in a Wichita hospital, where he had been treated since the shooting on Nov. 13. An autopsy is planned and the bureau says in a brief news release that the investigation continues.
The shooting happened after Pratt police officers responded to a report of a man waving a gun on a street outside a home.
Authorities say Prieto fired at one of the responding officers. Three officers returned fire.
No officers were hurt.
Pratt is a town of 6,700 residents in south-central Kansas, about 80 miles west of Wichita.
