On the morning of June 15, 2018, in a secured parking area behind the Wyandotte County courthouse in Kansas City, Kansas, 35-year-old deputy Patrick Rohrer was shot and killed while transporting an inmate for a hearing. Rohrer, a seven-year veteran of the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office, and his partner, Deputy Theresa King, were removing the inmate from a transport van when the inmate reportedly overpowered them and seized one of their firearms. Both deputies were struck; Rohrer was taken to the University of Kansas Hospital and died that same day. King was also mortally wounded and died shortly after midnight.

One of the deputies was able to return fire, wounding the inmate and preventing his escape. The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department said no other suspects were being sought. The inmate was identified as Antoine Fielder and was hospitalized after the exchange of gunfire.

Did anyone who worked at the courthouse that week notice anything unusual in the transport routine or the secured parking area?
