Three Kansas deputies were shot Friday during a gunfire exchange and a female suspect is dead, authorities said.

“We just don’t know at this point the events that led up to it (the shooting) other than the vehicle was called in as suspicious,” he said. “Deputies were following that lead and that’s when this occurred.”
The injured deputies were in stable condition and were taken to a hospital in Wichita, he said. Falletti said a female was the only person in the car.
Agents with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, its Crime Scene Response Team and other agencies have responded to the scene, a KBI spokesperson told Fox News.
Fox News has reached out to the sheriff’s office.
