UPDATE, 7:30 a.m. | The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says KCKPD was originally called just after 10:30 p.m. to the home, where officers discovered a 32-year-old man on the roof armed with a knife.
Officers de-escalated the situation, and he put down the knife and came down from the roof. Officers cleared the scene around 12:45 a.m.
About 10 minutes later, a second 911 call reported the man was again in crisis and armed with a knife.
A third 911 call came in about 1:15 a.m., reporting the man forced entry into the basement of the home.
Officers arrived about 1:20 a.m. and ordered the man to exit the home, but he again climbed on the roof, this time armed with multiple knives.
Preliminary reports indicate he began making throwing motions in the direction of family members and officers.
At that time, one KCKPD officer discharged their firearm, striking the man one time.
He was transported to an area hospital and is listed in stable condition.
