UPDATE: Baxter Springs Weekend Shootout

 

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation has released an update regarding the shoot-out last weekend in Baxter Springs.

 

New evidence from the KBI shows that 2-year-old Clesslynn Crawford died as a result of a single round fired by an officer from the Joplin Police Department. Officers responded to the scene and as one of the victims, 27-year-old Taylor Dawn Shutte, tried to get to the officers she was shot by 37-year-old Eli Crawford and died at the scene.  Crawford retreated into the house with the 2-year-old and fired shots at officers.  After a nearly three and a half hour standoff, officers found both dead inside the home.

 

The investigation is still ongoing, once it concludes, the findings will be presented to the Cherokee County Attorney to determine if criminal charges will be filed.
