LYONS, Kan. — Officials have announced a benefit ride for the Rice County sheriff and undersheriff who were wounded earlier this week.

The Blue Iron Motorcycle club, which is a law enforcement club, will take the fundraising ride on May 22 at 10 a.m.

The ride will start at the old Shopko parking lot in Lyons and end at Sonic in Sterling.

All donations from this ride will benefit Sheriff Bryant Evans and Undersheriff Chad Murphy.

Murphy was wounded after attempting to serve a warrant on David Madden. He was initially taken to a Wichita hospital in critical condition.

Later, while approaching a home in Raymond, Sheriff Evans was wounded in the leg. Madden was found dead inside the home after a standoff with numerous law enforcement agencies including the Reno County Sheriff’s Office. It is believed Madden shot and killed his father before turning the gun on himself.
