COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Authorities say a man with a gun has been arrested after chasing a woman into the lobby of the Columbia Police Department.

The Columbia Missourian reports that the city said in a news release that the suspect was waving a gun outside of his vehicle while following the woman’s vehicle. The release says she called for help Sunday morning while headed to the police department and said the man was trying to kill her.

After a collision outside the department, the woman got out of her vehicle and ran inside the department’s lobby. The release says the suspect tried to follow the victim inside, but officers chased him back to his vehicle and disarmed him.



The suspect then fled on foot and eventually was detained after a struggle.
