WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A Wyatt Earp re-enactor is missing guns and ammunition after a thief broke into his car.

The theft happened Saturday night after the re-enactor spent the day portraying the frontier lawman at a Wichita history museum. The Wichita Eagle (https://bit.ly/1IwKtKA) reports that while he was inside a restaurant, the back window of his car was smashed.

Sgt. Bob Gulliver, a police spokesman, says the re-enactor reported that someone made off with four handguns, their holsters and several thousand rounds of both blank and live ammunition. The victim’s appearance earlier in the day at the Old Cowtown Museum was part of an event called the “Age of the Gunfighter.”



No arrests were immediately made.
