Deputies responded at around 10:50 p.m. to a report of a domestic dispute. Two people left the residence after deputies arrived. After questioning them, deputies allegedly became concerned for the safety of the homeowner, Kevin Trahern, still inside. The deputies went into the house through the back door at around 12:30 a.m. Saturday to find Trahern. Trahern allegedly fired through the basement door, hitting the deputy three times. The deputy returned fire, and police retreated. A standoff at the home began, and several agencies responded to assist, including the KBI, Kansas Highway Patrol, police from Dodge City and Garden City and sheriff's office personnel from Ford and Hodgeman counties. The standoff ended at around 1:40 p.m. Saturday, when officers went inside and found Trahern's body. He had allegedly shot and killed himself.
