The Leavenworth Times reports it happened around 8:15 Wednesday morning at 215 South 3rd Street.

The Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Department told the newspaper a 58-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound inside the home, and he was transported by helicopter for hospitalized treatment. It's reported that he was concious and talking.

The person of interest is identified as 43-year-old Daniel W. Owens who has ties to Easton, Leavenworth, and Kansas City, Kansas.
