Standoff Ends Peacefully In Strafford

A standoff comes to an end in Strafford after a woman fired a gun into the air this morning.

Police say the woman was fired from her job at a business near Evergreen Road and I-44.

Police say she went to her car, got a gun and fired a shot into the air.

She then refused to get out of her car.

Police were finally able to get her to leave her car without the gun.

Original Story:

Dozens of law enforcement vehicles are on the scene in the 9700 block of east Evergreen in the Strafford area after reports of a woman waving a gun in a parking lot just west of Dirtworx and firing a shot in the air.

A negotiator is on scene talking to the woman, who’s believed to be in a truck.

Traffic is moving on Evergreen, but the entrance to the parking lot is blocked off.

Go Patrol spotters say nearly 50 law enforcement officers responded, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Webster County Sheriff’s Office, Strafford Police, Fair Grove Police, and Marshfield Police.
