The incident occurred while the two Wyandotte County Sheriff’s deputies were both "overcome by an inmate being transferred from jail to the courthouse" on Friday morning, police said. Officials said the other officer is a female.
The deputy that died was identified as Deputy Patrick Rohrer, 35. Rohrer had been on the force for seven years, the Wyandotte County Sheriff's office said.
The suspect was also shot and is undergoing surgery. No other details were released about the suspect, including his condition.
Both Rohrer and the unidentified officer were transported to the University of Kansas Medical Center, where Rohrer later died.
Major Kelli Bailiff, of the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office, said it was possible the deputies were shot with their own weapons.
Police said no other suspects were being sought.
Bailiff said the investigation was now being handled by the police department in Kansas City. Police Officer Zac Blair said authorities were reviewing surveillance video.
