In a recent incident in Overland Park, a homeowner shot at a suspected arsonist who was seen setting a neighbor’s house on fire. The homeowner became suspicious after noticing someone in a white car park in front of their house in the early hours of the morning. The individual in the car was wearing a mask and was observed heading towards a neighboring house before flames were seen.
The homeowner reported seeing the suspect running back towards the car and pointing a gun at them when told to stop. The suspect did not comply and drove away, prompting the homeowner to fire several shots at the car. It is unclear if the suspect was hit, and no further description of them is available at this time.
The Overland Park Fire Department quickly responded to extinguish the fire at the neighboring house, where two adults and two children were unharmed. Police are now searching for the arson suspect and are asking anyone with information to contact the department or the TIPS Hotline. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to solve the case and ensure the safety of the community.
