Suicide

Kyle M. Wittrock, a senior at Warrensburg High School, reportedly killed himself when police stopped his SUV after he'd temporarily caused a lockdown at the school. At about 7:45 a.m., school officials said a staff member saw Wittrock with a long gun in the parking lot. The school was immediately placed on protective lockdown and police were notified. Wittrock left in a Ford Explorer and police stopped the teen about 2 miles from the high school. A witness said several officers surrounded Wittrock's SUV with their guns drawn. "I heard cops yelling, 'Get on the ground! Get on the ground,'" the witness said. "Their guns were drawn out, shotguns everywhere, and I heard a couple of bang noises. There might have been shots fired." According to police, the officers heard a gunshot inside the SUV as they approached, and then found Wittrock dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
