The man had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest- and died on the scene..
Occupants of the residence where the shooting occurred reportedly told police the deceased had tried to enter and was shot. There was no report if the man lived or had acquaintances at that address- but indications were it was attempted criminal entry.
No word if police took any of the house's occupants into custody or any charges were yet filed.

** KC-MO Police Leave An Operation-100 With No Suspect **
... The police tactical operation had been declared at 5:48am in the 3800 block of Wayne after a possible suspect in a domestic dispute reportedly refused to talk to officers.
Police were concerned as there were reportedly children inside the house the man refused to exit.
Several hours later- the "Operation-100" was cancelled and that "suspect" was left alone after a Jackson County prosecutor determined there wasn't sufficient evidence for a search warrant or arrest of the man.
It's the first "Operation-100" I've heard in almost 20 years where a suspect or a suspects' corpse was not taken from a situation.
