WICHITA, Kansas (KSNW) — Wichita Police are at a home in south Wichita near Pawnee and McLean where there is a possible standoff involving a man. The incident occurred at a home on Oak Street, just north of Savannah Street. Sedgwick County dispatch tells KSN News that multiple WPD units are in the area.

A man at a home in that location called KSN News and said a suspicious man was seen in the area on a Ring camera earlier today. The caller said the man was acting strangely. He told us the man is now on his roof and officers are trying to get him to come down. He and his family are in the basement of the home while police try to keep him updated.
