A 32-year-old man who was killed in a shooting in southern Kansas over the weekend was shot by a dog who stepped on a rifle, officials said on Monday.
The incident happened at about 9:47 a.m. on Saturday when deputies were called for a shooting in the area of 80th Street South and River Road, northwest of Geuda Springs, close to the Oklahoma state line.
Upon arrival, deputies found a 32-year-old man from Wichita who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the back. CPR was performed but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
