Man accused of shooting at people on sidewalk arrested after standoff in KCK
A man is in custody following a nearly 6-hour standoff at an apartment building in Kansas City, Kansas, police said.
Officers spent hours negotiating with a man who allegedly shot at people walking near an apartment complex Wednesday morning.
At the scene, officers spoke with a person who said a man had fired a gun at them as they were walking their dog down the sidewalk on Central Street.
Officer Tom Tomasic, a police spokesman, said in an email that no one was injured when the man allegedly fired a weapon.
Police said the man ran back into the apartment building, Bethany Park Towers at 1011 Central Street, when officers tried to make contact with him. Officers spent hours outside the apartments in efforts to get him to come out, said Officer Carlos Ulloa in an email.
At approximately 8:50 AM, the man was taken into custody, Ulloa said.
Anyone with information on this case is urged to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS hotline at 816-474-8477.
