A police officer suffered serious injuries and was stable in a hospital, the Wichita Police Department tweeted. The other two suffered minor injuries and were also hospitalized, the department said.
A SWAT team was “activated” as part of the department’s response to the incident, which occurred after the 4 pm dispatch, police said. The department’s bomb squad was also at the address.
Agents from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at the scene, the ATF tweeted.
