There was an incident on Saturday 4/16/16 which could have ended in tragedy. There was a domestic violence situation which turned into a standoff between a suspect and the police.
Fortunately, we do not see many of these in Shawnee, as they are more common in other areas of the metro.
Fortunately, we do have a well trained police department and their response to this incident appears to have resulted in a resolution that avoided tragedy. The suspect in custody and nobody in either the hospital or the morgue. Good job.
