Tuesday night, July 3

A look into 24-year-old Christian Webb's background reveals the early Tuesday morning home invasion and shooting of an off-duty Wichita police officer at the officer's home wasn't his first run in with the law.

The early Tuesday-morning incident ended with Webb dead and the off-duty officer injured.

Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said Webb had a firearm and began ordering the off-duty officer, "giving him directions on what to do."

"At which time (the officer) was able to retrieve a handgun and a shootout ensued," Ramsay said.

The officer shot Webb multiple times. The 24-year-old died at a Wichita hospital.

Police believe he may have been responsible for car break-ins down the street from the officer's home near 21st and Maize Road.

Former neighbors say Webb was involved in multiple burglaries in their neighborhood. Court documents show he was arrested last December after breaking into a northeast Wichita home.

The officer shot once in the leg in his home early Tuesday morning was released from the hospital.
