Sedgwick County deputies and Wichita police officers were on the scene in a south Wichita neighborhood where a shooting was reported Monday morning.
Sheriff Jeff Easter said a husband and wife got into a domestic dispute as they and their children were brought to Cessna Elementary School by a Lyft driver. The children went into the school and then the dispute broke out, and witnesses reported seeing the man shoot the woman and then chase her toward the school. A deputy arriving on the scene then shot the man after seeing him pointing a gun at the woman.
Both suspects were reported to be in critical condition after the shooting.
Officers moved into the area and they were talking to a number of witnesses to gather more information.
Cessna Elementary School, west of the shooting location, was locked down as a precaution but the school was not involved in the shooting. The school district issued a statement on social media:
