Update: Police say 56-year-old, Daniel Jennings surrendered peacefully, just before 4:50 p.m. Sunday. He was transported to the Johnson County Jail where he is currently being held on a $50,000 bond.

Original Post: Shawnee Police have requested an "Operation 100" call out for a barricaded male in a house near the intersection of 67th Street and Halsey Street in Shawnee. 67th Street is closed to westbound traffic, just west of Quivira Road and closed to eastbound traffic at Long Avenue.

The situation stems from a domestic disturbance late Sunday morning at 11:09 a.m., according to a Police Officer on the scene. Police say a man allegedly pulled a knife on a female. The female was able to escape from the house and call for Police. Officers have dealt with this same man on previous occasions.

As of 2 p.m., Police say the man is communicating with Police and still refusing to come out of the house.

Reverse 911 calls were used to notify residents in surrounding homes of the situation. Those residents are being asked to evacuate or stay in the basement until the situation is over.
