MONTEZUMA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities in southwestern Kansas’ Gray County say a home standoff that forced the cancellation of classes in two rural districts has ended with the man’s arrest.
The county sheriff’s department says on its Facebook page Monday afternoon that the situation at Montezuma “ended safely.”
Calls to the sheriff’s department for details were directed to the county prosecutor’s office, which couldn’t immediately comment. Messages left with a Kansas Bureau of Investigation spokesman also were not returned.
South Gray High school principal Tim Skinner says classes were canceled Monday in the Montezuma and Copeland school districts.
Skinner says the residence is near the high school and elementary school in Montezuma. The two districts share a junior high and high school and busing services. They have a combined enrollment of about 240 students.
