WICHITA — A police chief who rushed without backup into a Kansas lawnmower factory and fatally shot a gunman who had killed three people and wounded 14 more, says he is no hero.
Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder said Tuesday that any police officer would have acted as he did in those circumstances.
In his first public statement since the Feb. 25 shootings at the Excel Industries factory in Hesston, Schroeder said God had prepared him throughout his life and career to deal with that situation.
