(KMZA)--The man killed Monday evening in Wamego during an exchange of gunfire with authorities following an armed carjacking has been identified.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Melissa Underwood Wednesday identified the victim as 25-year-old Ethan Straub, of Wamego.
Officers were called Monday evening to the Kreem Kup Drive In on U.S. 24 Highway after receiving a report of an armed carjacking.
The suspect was seen about 30 minutes later and authorities attempted to make contact with him as he allegedly tried to steal another vehicle.
Gunfire was exchanged between Straub and five officers from four law enforcement agencies.
Straub was pronounced dead at the scene.
No officers were injured, though one officer was taken to a hospital as a precaution due to a health concern.
The KBI is investigating the incident, and Underwood said the agency's findings will be turned over to the Pottawatomie County Attorney for review.
