Police Chief Robert Lee says police were called to the Trails at Derby Apartments Friday afternoon after a shooting. They found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She died later at a Wichita hospital. Lee says witnesses described a man involved in the shooting and police saw him at the Derby Golf & Country Club about a mile north of the apartments.
