TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A barrage of gunfire in the west end of Topeka led to the death of one person, police said.
The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, when officers were called to Southwest Gage Boulevard near a shopping district and not far from the Topeka Zoo, police said. Arriving officers found one person suffering gunshot wounds who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The person’s name and other details of the shooting had not been released by Thursday morning.
Police said the size of the crime scene led it to issue a plea for residents to avoid the area while detectives conducted a forensics investigation.
