Man Kills Two Kansas Police Officers, Is Subsequently Killed

Authorities have identified the gunman who killed two Topeka police officers as a 22-year-old man who records show had a criminal record.

During a news conference Monday, authorities said the shooter was David Tiscareno (tihs-'CUH-ree-noh). Officers later shot him.

Online court records show Tiscareno was convicted previously of theft of less than $1,000 and a weapons violation. He was sentenced to probation both times.
