Kansas cop who killed man on swatting call sues over wages A Kansas police officer who fatally shot an unarmed man while responding to a bogus emergency call is suing over wages

WICHITA, Kan. -- A Kansas police officer who fatally shot an unarmed man while responding to a bogus emergency call is suing over wages.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Justin Rapp alleges in the lawsuit filed Thursday that he wasn't allowed to resume his usual jobs "in a reasonable amount of time" after fatally shooting 28-year-old Andrew Finch in December 2017. He says that caused him to lose out on $31,000 from his regular police duties in Wichita and a city-approved off-duty security job.

Rapp wasn't charged. He said he feared Finch was reaching for a firearm when he fired, not knowing that a hoaxer had reported a fake homicide and hostage situation at Finch's home. A lawsuit filed by Finch's family is pending.

The city's attorney declined to comment on Rapp's allegations.
