KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man was found dead Monday night from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after a standoff with law officers at a Northland house.

The 42-year-old man's name has not been released.

Gladstone police were sent about 1:30 p.m. Monday to a house in the 400 block of North 75th Terrace on a reported armed domestic disturbance, according to a Gladstone Police Department news release.

A woman came out of the house after officers arrived.

The Clay County Sheriff Department's Special Tactics and Response Team and officers from other police departments came to the scene.

Several hours of trying to persuade the man to come out failed and officers went into the house.

Investigators are looking into the call that brought police to the house and the man's death, according to the news release.

No other injuries were reported.
