Judge says TV station’s open records lawsuit against Overland Park in Albers case can go forward

A Johnson County judge on Monday handed Kansas City, Mo., TV station KSHB a victory in court, ruling that an open records lawsuit against the city of Overland Park regarding the 2018 police shooting of teenager John Albers can move forward. Judge Robert Wonnell decided to allow the suit filed by KSHB and its parent company, Scripps Media Inc., to continue without disruption by denying the city’s motion to dismiss. The TV station’s suit seeks the report on the police investigation of the shooting, from the Officer Involved Shooting Investigation Team.
