** Possible Standoff In Johnson County-MO **

... Not much to report on this- unconfirmed by people answering sheriff's office phones- of the tip around 6:45am this morning of a male barricaded in a trailer house in the 1100 block of Northwest 255 Road.

A number of deputies from the county seat- Warrensburg- were said to be enroute and my shift ended before I could get much more info on this (I know- some journalist- huh?).
