Deputies find man dead after standoff

Deputies find man dead after standoff in Warrensburg.

Police have released more information about a standoff in Warrensburg Tuesday, which ended with a man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office says the incident began when a man was arguing with a woman inside the home. The fight escalated and the man threatened to shoot her and himself, according to investigators.

She was able to get of the house. The man, who has not been identified, fired a shot at her when she ran away. The woman was not hurt.

When sheriff’s deputies responded to the home, police said the man fired two shots at the officers.

Police did not return fire. They tried to negotiate with him, but he took his own life, they said.
