LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Law enforcement authorities have shot and killed a man wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service who led them on a car chase then pointed a gun at them. The Kansas Highway Patrol said the chase started Monday afternoon when troopers located a man wanted by the marshals near Perry Lake in northeast Kansas. Troopers pursued the vehicle into Lawrence, where they eventually were able to stop the vehicle.
