Aftermath: Kansas City Police Standoff At 99th & Wornall

Here at TKC we're watching this situation that has been unfolding during the midday as a few e-mails our way have asked what was happening.

Check the best detail regarding police response so far . . .

Operation 100/Standoff 99th and Wornall

This morning just after 7am officers were dispatched to a residence in the 9900 block of Wornall on a disturbance involving a male armed with a gun.

On arrival contact was made with a female victim outside the residence who said that an armed male had assaulted her and another female inside the residence.

She was able to get outside the residence to safety and call police.  She told police that at least one other person remained inside the residence with the suspect.

Officers tried to establish contact with the suspect and/or others inside the residence with no result. Officers deescalated and backed away and called for a standoff to bring additional tactical resources and negotiators to the scene.

For safety to the surrounding area we have shutdown vehicle traffic on Wornall in both directions at 99th st as we work to peacefully resolve this situation.

At about 2:30 a male and female exited the residence and were detained for further investigation.

Thankfully neither appeared to have any injuries.

Tactical officers ensured no further people remained inside.  Detectives continue to investigate the original assault at this time.

Traffic on Wornall has now been reopened in all directions.

We thank everyone for their patience and understanding as our officers and negotiators worked hard to bring a peaceful resolution to this potentially dangerous situation.
