Name withheld by police

How they died

Suicide

An unidentified woman reportedly died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a standoff. Deputies had arrived at around 2:15 p.m. and met the woman's husband, who said his wife had locked herself in a room. Deputies tried to talk to her, but she fired a shot at them, so they left the home. Additional deputies, as well as members of the Richmond Police Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol responded to the scene. Several attempts to talk to the woman were reportedly unsuccessful. Later that evening, police shot tear gas inside the home and entered the residence soon afterwards. The woman was pronounced dead at 9:23 p.m. after officers found her body inside.
