KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lenexa police said they found two adults dead inside a home after an hours-long standoff late Friday into Saturday morning.

Around 8:20 p.m. Friday evening, police were called to the 7900 block of Hallet after receiving a report of gunshots coming from a home in the area.

Police were able to reach someone inside the house by phone, but a male subject refused to cooperate. Police called in additional resources after two hours of unsuccessful negotiations.

Just before 2 a.m. on Saturday, tactical teams entered the residence and detained the man.

When police cleared the house, they found the bodies of an adult male and an adult female. The victims appeared to have been shot.

The suspect was transported to an area hospital for suspected overdose.

Investigators also found a neighbor’s dog who was shot and killed around the time the initial shooting call was received.
