HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A scary situation for law enforcement occurred early Saturday morning when, just after 2:00 a.m., Reno County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to 16302 W. Morgan Rd, southwest of Hutchinson on the report of shots being fired. When they arrived, they were approached by 28-year-old Jody A. Christopher, who was running toward them.

Christopher advised that he was living with 38-year-old Jacob Salome and 55-year-old Tomi Lee McJimsy at the Morgan Road address. Christopher said an argument ensued when he picked up a 9mm handgun belonging to Salome. Salome then picked up an AK-47 rifle and aimed it at Christopher. Christopher said that Salome then proceeded to shoot into the floor, microwave and computer. Christopher fled out the front door of the residence and was running down Morgan Road to get away. He heard several shots coming from the house and felt threatened.

Shortly after deputies arrived at the scene, Salome shot several rounds out the back of the residence. Not knowing if McJimsy was being held against her will or not, the Hutchinson/ Reno County Emergency Response Team was activated and came to the scene.

After evaluating the situation, the types of guns that Salome had included the AK-47 rifle, AR-15 rifle and a 9mm handgun. With the threats made, the Harvey County Emergency Response Team was called in to assist with manpower.

At approximately 9:50 a.m., Salome exited his residence and proceeded to his pickup. The Emergency Response Teams were able to apprehend him and take him into custody without anyone getting injured.

Salome was booked into the Reno County Jail on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence.

Christopher was booked into jail for a probation violation.
