KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police responding to a domestic violence aggravated assault near Interstate 435 and Winner Road were led on a half-hour chase before the subject was taken into custody without further incident.

Officers were called to the area shortly after 2:15 p.m. to investigate a disturbance involving a possibly armed subject, according to Kansas City, Missouri, police.
