A Wichita police officer died Wednesday night after a battle with cancer.
Daniel Gumm was an 18-year veteran of the department. He was a K-9 handler and trainer who lost his canine partner, Rooster, while attempting an arrest in 2017.
Gumm was diagnosed over the summer with metastatic esophageal cancer, and a number of fund-raising events were held to help him and his family with medical expenses.
He leaves behind a wife and three children, and his latest K-9 partner, Bane.
