From an article by The Huffington Post:
A 5-year-old kidnapping victim was fatally shot following a high speed chase on Friday.
Police in Leavenworth, Kansas, said that the little girl, Cadence Harris, was abducted from an unknown area earlier that evening. A police chase began in Atchison County before crossing into Missouri, and then back over the state line.
The suspect, Marcus McGowen, drove his SUV into a construction zone and could not find a way out, Leavenworth Police Chief Patrick Kitchens said in a Saturday news conference. He then got out of his car and allegedly fired on police, sparking a shootout.
McGowen was wounded by police gunfire, but Kitchens said Saturday that bullets fired by officers did not strike the suspect's car or the girl.
