At Rest

Deadly force
Officers began chasing Smart in Wichita's Old Town district after he allegedly fired at least two shots from a semi-automatic handgun. Officers fired at him when he refused to drop his weapon, and eventually shot him to death in an alley. Four other people were wounded by gunfire--one from Smart, the three others from officers. Smart was shot five times in the back.
