Chase County deputies are investigating after an alleged domestic incident led to the discovery of a dead person inside a Cottonwood Falls home.
Chase County Sheriff Jacob Welsh says deputies responded to the 100 block of Maple shortly before 1 am Sunday, along with troopers with the Kansas Highway Patrol. Authorities were trying to make contact with the suspect when they heard a single gunshot inside the home.
Deputies and troopers got inside, finding two bystanders in the home. They were removed. Their status has not been divulged.
Chase County deputies then requested help from the Highway Patrol’s Special Response Team and Lyon County Special Response Team. Once the Highway Patrol Team got inside the house, members found a man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Welsh says there will be no more information released about this incident.
