Sunday follow-up and a glimpse at increasing local desperation . . .
Officers said the man later exited the second-story window of the home with a rifle before climbing on the roof. Several kids followed.
The kids then climbed down a ladder into a courtyard as the man reentered the home.
By around 2:30 p.m., police said multiple children and dogs exited the residence and were brought to safety with family.
The man was then believed to be the only occupant left in the home.
Negotiation efforts continued until the home caught fire, which police believe was caused by the man igniting a flame within.
The KCMO Fire Department worked to contain the blaze behind an armored vehicle.
Eventually, the man exited the residence armed with a rifle. He complied with officers commands to drop his weapons and walk away from the fire around 6:30 p.m., per KCPD.
