(KAIR)--The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred Sunday morning in Leavenworth.

The KBI said just before 5:00 Sunday morning a female subject called 911 to report that a male acquaintance was near 4th and  Miami Streets in Leavenworth, and was armed with a handgun.

The KBI said preliminary information indicates that officers from the Leavenworth Police Department, the Lansing Police Department, and the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area. Upon arriving they located an armed man standing in the middle of the street at the intersection of 5th and Seneca Streets. They blocked traffic and began to negotiate with the man, who was later identified as 31-year-old Donald Barden Jr., of Leavenworth.

From a distance, the KBI said they attempted to convince him to drop his gun. During the incident Barden ignored commands, waved his gun around, and made suicidal statements.

At about 6:20 a.m., the KBI said Barden ran toward officers while pointing his gun in their direction. One officer from the Leavenworth Police Department and one officer from the Lansing Police Department fired rounds toward Barden, striking him. At the same time, another officer from the Leavenworth Police Department fired bean bag rounds at Barden. 

Officers then rendered aid to Barden. EMS, who had been waiting nearby during the incident, responded and took over life-saving measures. EMS transported Barden to the University of Kansas Hospital, in Kansas City,  where at last report he was listed in critical, but stable condition.

The KBI said no law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.

The Leavenworth Police Department requested the KBI investigate the shooting.

Once the investigation is complete, the KBI said findings will be turned over to the Leavenworth County Attorney for review.

The investigation is ongoing. No further information will be released at this time.
