Man charged with shooting, wounding Manhattan officer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A research associate at Kansas State University has been charged with shooting and wounding a police officer in Manhattan.
 
Riley County prosecutor Barry Wilkerson said 38-year-old Mark Harrison was charged Monday with three counts of attempted capital murder.  Harrison made a brief first appearance in court Monday afternoon and is being held in the Riley County Jail on a $6 million bond.
 
The Riley County Police Department said in a news release that Sgt. Pat Tiede has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. Tiede was wounded Friday afternoon while responding to a report of a domestic situation. Tiede surrendered after barricading himself inside a home for two hours.
 
Kansas State spokesman Jeff Morris told the Manhattan Mercury that Harrison is a research associate in the university's mechanical and nuclear engineering department.
