Police in Wichita peacefully resolve a standoff with an armed suspect after gunfire is exchanged in Haysville.

 

 The incident began around 1:30 Wednesday afternoon, when Sedgwick County Sheriff's deputies attempted to serve a search warrant on 43-year-old Robert Cook at his home in Haysville.

 

With help from the Haysville Police Department, deputies used a K9 officer to clear the residence. Officers believed Cook had locked himself inside a bedroom. As law enforcement prepared to deploy gas into the house, a deputy broke a bedroom window and Cook fired several shots at officers. Two deputies returned fire. Neith Cook nor any officers were injured in the exchange.

 

The standoff continued for another four hours, with police negotiators focused on a peaceful resolution. That resolution came around 11:30 Wednesday night when Cook finally surrendered. He was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of three counts of aggravated assault on a police officer.
