About two hours after a shooting Saturday in the 3600 block of Mersington Avenue, a woman who had retreated into the home surrendered to Kansas City police.

Charges are expected Sunday, police said.

Police had set up a perimeter around the home about 7:45 p.m. Saturday. A man in his mid-40s told officers his daughter, a woman in her mid-20s, shot him after an argument.

He was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition, police said.
