KBI: Suspect Fired at Deputies in Pursuit Ending Near Basehor-Linwood High School

The state probe outlines a chase that began with a threat report and ended in a crash near the school, with both suspects now jailed on warrants.

Overview

  • Deputies responded around 8:45 p.m. to a threat report on Dempsey Road and pursued a white Honda SUV that refused to stop, according to the KBI.
  • Gunfire came from the SUV during the chase, including near North 147th Street and Parallel Road, and a deputy wrecked a patrol vehicle but was treated and released.
  • The Honda crashed near North 156th Street and Parallel Road as the high school football game ended, and the district said the incident was unrelated to school activities.
  • Passenger Andrew M. Amundsen, 33, fired several rounds before fleeing on foot, entered a nearby home through a basement window, then was found hiding in a truck bed and arrested uninjured.
  • Driver Mariah Huggins, 29, was taken into custody at the crash scene, both were booked on outstanding warrants, and additional charges are expected as the KBI continues its investigation.
