At Rest

Suicide
James Allen Vollnogel reportedly killed himself after exchanging shots with police during a high-speed chase through three counties. According to police, two Hutchinson PD detectives went to Vollnogel's home to discuss recent robberies. Vollnogel fled and the officers followed. The chase crossed into McPherson and Rice counties, with the KHP joining in. Vollnogel stopped near Lyons and allegedly shot at the officers before shooting himself. He died at the scene. The district attorney decided that the shots fired by officers were necessary and justified.
