Possibly a sign of growing desperation here in flyover country . . . We wanted to share this roundup that dominated local headlines today in order to consider rising Heartland domestic violence . . . Check-it:
"As officials with the Eudora Police Department arrived at the home, they said they heard a gunshot ring out from inside. They were able to establish contact with a 52-year-old man inside the home who was “overtly hostile and threatening to shoot law enforcement officers,” before he barricaded himself in the house.
"The Sheriff’s Office noted that the Lawrence Police Department was called to utilize drone technology to gain access to the residence. The tools were able to show law enforcement officials that a 44-year-old woman lay deceased in the home.
"After several hours of negotiations, investigators said they lost contact with the man but continued to use tech in an attempt to reestablish contact or take him into custody.
"During part of the investigation, Douglas County Sheriff Jay Armbrister said there were concerns about possible explosives inside the house. This was part of the reason why the standoff lasted for nearly 20 hours.
"Just before 4:30 p.m. on Friday, the Kansas Highway Patrol indicated they were able to enter the home and found the suspect deceased as well."
