UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Detectives are cleared in inquiry on gunfight
By Scott Worthington
Kansan staff writer
Both detectives who took part in a gunfight with an alleged bank robber on Friday have been reinstated to the Lawrence police department, Ron Olin, Lawrence police chief, said yesterday.
Michael Pattrick, who was wounded in the gunfire, will remain on medical leave until he is physically able to return, Olin said.
Patrick and Randy Roberts, the other detective involved, were taken off duty Friday pending an investigation of their actions in the shoot-out.
A manhunt that began Thursday morning ended Friday morning when police found William C. Post dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head east of Lawrence near the Kansas River. Post apparently shot himself following a gunfight with Patrick and Roberts. In the exchange, Patrick was shot in the shoulder and Post was shot in the shoulder and forearm. An autopsy Monday concluded that the bullet in Post's head was from his own gun, a. 357 caliber revolver.
After reviewing statements from several witnesses, Olin echoed his previous belief that the officers had acted appropriately in the exchange.
He said that more than 20 shots were fired in an exchange that lasted 10 to 30 seconds.
"Estimates from offices are suspect because of the emotions involved," Olin said.
Contray to earlier reports, police have learned that Post confronted Patrick, Roberts and officer Jimmy Wold, who were stationed on the eastern edge of a two-mile perimeter, Olin said. Post fired the first shot, probably at Roberts, Olin said.
"He really had no other place he could have zone." Olin said.
Police also believe now that Post spent Thursday night in a warehouse at 1927 Moodie Rd, the same address from which he stole a white utility van Friday morning, Olin said.
The manhunt began Thursday when Post allegedly robbed a Lenexa bank and forced a woman to drive him to Lawrence. After various law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, found no signs of Post in Lawrence, they concluded late Thursday night that he had moved on.
However, Post resurfaced Friday morning, stealing two cars and taking a second person hostage before ending alone east of Lawrence on the Kansas River, where the gunfight occurred
