STEWARTSVILLE, Mo. (AP) - A northwest Missouri man is dead after pointing a weapon at law enforcement officers who were responding to a domestic disturbance.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the patrol and Dekalb County Sheriff's Department responded to a call near Stewartsville shortly before 10:20 Sunday morning when they made contact with a man armed with a weapon.
