(CNN) — One sheriff's deputy is dead and another is in critical condition after they were shot Friday during a prisoner transport in Kansas City, Kansas, authorities said.

The two Wyandotte County deputies were transporting inmates to court around 11:30 a.m. CT Friday, sheriff's office spokeswoman Maj. Kelli Bailiff said at a press conference.

When they pulled into a parking lot outside the county courthouse, the deputies were "overcome," Bailiff said.

"It is very possible that with their own firearm -- they were both shot," she said.

Kansas City, Kansas, police have taken over the investigation.

An inmate shot and killed two Kansas deputies escorting him to court, authorities say

An inmate shot and killed two sheriff’s deputies in broad daylight Friday while they were transporting him from a Kansas City jail to a courthouse across the street for a hearing, authorities say. One of the mortally wounded deputies managed to shoot the suspect, who remains hospitalized.

Deputy Patrick Rohrer died at a hospital on the same day. Deputy Theresa King died shortly after midnight Saturday. The two had a combined 20 years of service for the sheriff’s department in Wyandotte County.

Rohrer and King had pulled up into the courthouse’s back parking lot shortly after 11 a.m. Friday and were taking the suspect out of an inmate transport van when they were attacked, Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kelli Bailiff told reporters at a news conference.

Authorities said the inmate may have taken one of the deputies’ guns and shot both of them. Pictures taken by local media show the white van, its doors wide open, parked in a gated portion of the parking lot and surrounded with yellow evidence markers.
