While searching the neighbourhood, another police officer found that a man was lying dead with a deadly gunshot wound in a living room of the house, the Wichita Police Department said.

The police department’s spokesman Andrew Ford said, “At this time, we believe all victims are known to each other, and there is no outstanding suspect or ongoing threat to the community. While our investigation is still in its preliminary stages, we suspect that one of the victims may be the possible shooter.”
