On Monday, Missouri State Highway Patrol issued a blue alert at about 9 a.m. and Kansas followed a few hours later during a manhunt for Thomas Eugene Tolbert—charged with first-degree assault—after he shot a Lee’s Summit officer who is recovering in hospital; law enforcement received more than 12 tips and is offering a reward of up to $10,000.
