Former Marine is killed during standoff with a Kansas sheriff and deputy after 'killing his father'

A former Marine who was wanted for illegally possessing a machine gun was killed early Tuesday morning during a standoff with multiple officers at a Kansas home.
The Rice County Sheriff's Office confirmed that David Madden, 37, had been shot dead after he opened fire on Sheriff Bryant Evans and a deputy.
Sheriff Evans was shot in the leg during the standoff with Madden, a former Marine who had a long criminal history.
After the exchange of fire, authorities searched the home where they found Madden's body along with his father's body.
Authorities believe Madden killed his father, Thomas, before opening fire on the officers.
Before the standoff, Madden allegedly shot and wounded Rice County Undersheriff Chad Murphy.
Murphy was shot multiple times while trying to execute a warrant against Madden who absconded from the corrections system.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in a news release that Murphy attempted to stop a car north of the small town of Sterling around 5pm on Monday because an occupant, Madden, had an outstanding warrant against him.
The news release doesn't detail that warrant.

Madden was indicted last week on federal charges for illegal possession of a machine gun and he was investigated in the 2015 disappearance of his girlfriend who remains missing.
Kansas Department of Corrections records also list him as an absconder from a program that supervises felony offenders.
The department spokeswoman didn't immediately return a phone message and online records provided no details.
Less than a minute after initiating the stop, the undersheriff radioed to dispatch that he had been shot.
KBI spokeswoman Melissa Underwood said Madden shot him. He was flown to a hospital in critical condition with four gunshot wounds.

ShareAs of Tuesday afternoon, Murphy is in stable condition. Sterling is a town of about 2,000 people about 70 miles northwest of Wichita.
The KBI said Sheriff Evans and a deputy later went to a home southeast of nearby Raymond, another small town, after receiving information that Madden may have fled there.
Evans was shot in the leg in an exchange of gunfire.
He was taken to a hospital in good condition, and his wife said he was later released. The shooting led law enforcement to surround the home.
Authorities found the bodies of Madden and his father after the standoff. It's unclear who lived in the home.
The federal firearm case against Madden dates back to February 2017 when he was under investigation in the disappearance of 22-year-old Megan Renee Foglesong and led law enforcement on a high-speed chase through several counties.
He was later arrested at his home following a standoff at the time.
A couple of days later, the KBI, serving a search warrant on the property, recovered two wooden crates containing two dozen pipe bombs, each wrapped with baling wire and black tape.
The KBI secured the home, returning to search further in March 2017, when a fully automatic AK-47 machine gun was found under Madden's bed.
In a jailhouse interview with the KBI, Madden said he found the machine gun in Fallujah, Iraq, while he was stationed there.
Madden entered a no-contest plea in the law enforcement chase in June 2018 and was placed on probation.
Weapon possession charges were not filed until earlier this month. It was unclear why there was a filing delay in the federal case.
The KBI says the investigation into Foglesong's disappearance remains open. She was last seen in Rice County after moving there from Oneida, Illinois.
Former Rice County Undersheriff Brian Treaster said in February that there have been six large searches for her and some small ones, too.
He said previously that foul play was suspected, but didn't say why.
