KANSAS CITY, Mo. April 16 2020 Prosecutors say a former Kansas City police officer who said he was shot in the chest last fall while patrolling a shopping center has been charged with false reporting.
The Kansas City Star reports that 53-year-old Kelly Sapp was suspended from his job after investigators questioned his story about being shot Sept. 14 while he moonlighted as a security guard.
Police swarmed the area looking for a shooter after Sapp radioed he needed help.
Sapp said he had been shot by an unknown assailant as he investigated noises coming from a tree line near the shopping center.
Investigators later determined the evidence gathered at the scene didn’t match Sapp’s story.
