"Atchison County authorities say a city police officer was shot and killed by a man who then shot himself.


Atchison County Sheriff John Calhoon says Sgt. David Enzbrenner was shot Friday afternoon while serving a nuisance order at an Atchison house.


He said the alleged shooter, 25-year-old Skyler Barbee, came "out of nowhere," fired at the officer and then shot himself.


Enzbrenner was a 24-year veteran of the Atchison police department.


Calhoon says it's not clear if Barbee lived at the home where the order was served. He says an investigation is continuing."


Funeral service is scheduled for Thursday, 15 December 2011 in Atchison, KS

My thoughts go out to the Sgts family. May he rest in peace. Thank you for serving your community and paying the ultimate price.

This is actually up in my neck of the woods. Talked to the Sheriff himself this afternoon, and he looked like he was doing everything he could just to hold it together. We're lending them our demo Harley for the funeral, as well as our Charger to lead the motorcade.


Sick thing really. The sergeant was out on a simple code enforcement call, and the kid lived across the street from the house involved. Apparently the kid's dad is serving a life sentence in Louisiana, and as such, he was pissed off at the justice system in general, and just snapped. I feel sorry for the owner of the house where it happened. He/She had to have been traumatized beyond comprehension, not to mention the officer's family and next of kin.
