After possible road rage shooting, police engage in standoff outside Kansas City home
Kansas City police were engaged in a standoff outside a home after a road rage incident on Interstate 435.
Police were called to I-435 and Bannister Road just around noon after shots were fired, said Kansas City Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jacob Becchina.
A driver told officers he was “involved in a road rage disturbance” on the interstate, heard a shot fired at his vehicle and later saw a bullet hole in his car.
The driver gave a description of the other vehicle to police who followed it to a home in the 2200 block of East 70th Street, Becchina said.
Several people left the car and ran inside the home.
Then, Becchina said, officers surrounded the home and called a standoff. A few people left the home and were arrested, including at least one person of interest.
The standoff ended around 3 p.m. after officers obtained a search warrant and searched the home.
Becchina said the investigation into the aggravated assault will continue.
