I am going to post the article as it happened from the beginning:
Family identifies man killed in officer-involved shooting in SW Wichita
Wichita police shoot, kill man in west Wichita
Two people are critically injured in a shooting in west Wichita.
It happened a little before 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the 1000 block of West McCormick, near McCormick and Seneca.
[....]
Wichita police say one man is dead after a Wichita Police Department officer shot him on a call Thursday evening at a home near McCormick and Seneca in southwest Wichita.
[....]
Livingston says the case began about 6:18 p.m. when officers responded to a report that a man had shot and killed his father in an argument and was holding his family hostage.
On the call, Livingston says police prepared for a hostage situation and an officer shot the 28-year-old when he came to the door.
[....]
Police say the man shot by an officer was the only person injured at the home. The reports of a father being fatally shot prior to police arrival proved false.
Livingston did not say if the 28-year-old man had a gun. [....]
Eyewitness News has seen a Twitter exchange where users claim what happened at the southwest Wichita home was a "swatting incident."
[....]
At Thursday night's police briefing, Wichita Police Department Deputy Chief Troy Livingston was asked whether this was a "swatting" incident or a prank.
"We don't know, but obviously detectives will look into that angle," Livingston said.
