The Kansas Bureau of Investigation arrested a Manhattan man in connection with a Jan. 3 officer-involved shooting in Pottawatomie County in Manhattan.<\/p>\n
The agency said 38-year-old Brian Lovgren was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon by KBI agents and officers with the KU Medical Center Department of Public Safety. He was booked on a warrant for two counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and is held in Wyandotte County Jail.<\/p>\n
As previously reported, deputies with the Pottawatomie County sheriff\u2019s office responded to a home on Jan. 3 in east Manhattan after a homeowner reported gunfire damage to a shed and garage.<\/p>\n
While investigating, deputies heard additional shots in the area and approached a nearby residence. According to the KBI, Lovgren exited the home with a handgun after deputies identified themselves and issued commands. A deputy then fired multiple rounds, striking and injuring Lovgren. No officers were injured.<\/p>\n
The KBI said the Pottawatomie County attorney is likely to prosecute the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas Bureau of Investigation arrested a Manhattan man in connection with a Jan. 3 officer-involved shooting in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5357,303,9159,3777,9158,787,1027,42418,8041,75,84,83,259,34899,9,24,63,1096,3301,9105],"class_list":{"0":"post-146500","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manhattan","8":"tag-attacks","9":"tag-crime","10":"tag-crimes","11":"tag-criminal-justice","12":"tag-criminal-law","13":"tag-gun-violence","14":"tag-homicide","15":"tag-kansas-bureau-of-investigation","16":"tag-law-enforcement","17":"tag-manhattan","18":"tag-manhattan-headlines","19":"tag-manhattan-news","20":"tag-murder","21":"tag-national-security-of-the-united-states","22":"tag-new-york","23":"tag-new-york-city","24":"tag-nyc","25":"tag-shooting","26":"tag-violence","27":"tag-violent-crime"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
