Assisting Officer Killed In Murder/Suicide

"ATCHISON, KS — An Atchison, Kansas, police officer and another person were killed Friday afternoon in what appears to be a murder-suicide, the city said.

"The slain officer was Sgt. David Enzbrenner, who had served with Atchison police since 1987, said Mandy Cawby, the city’s finance director and acting spokeswoman.

"Investigators think that Enzbrenner was the victim in the case.

"The shooting happened before 4 p.m. near 12th and Division streets. The officer was in the area to assist code enforcement personnel with a nuisance order related to scrap metal and junk on a property, Cawby said, though it’s not clear whether the nuisance order was directly tied to the deaths.

"The Atchison Daily Globe reported that a 25-year-old man shot himself and died at the scene."
