The St. Joseph, Missouri man, accused of shooting at law enforcement during a near 9-hour standoff that began Friday evening, has died.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, Monday afternoon, confirmed the death of 36-year-old Bryson McCray, who died after being hospitalized, in critical condition, after being shot by a Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper, with the shooting bringing the standoff to an end.

KBI Monday: Bryson McCray, 36, of St. Joseph, Missouri, the subject in the recent officer-involved shooting in Atchison, died from his injuries in a local hospital early this morning. An autopsy is scheduled.

This investigation is ongoing.

The standoff began around 5:45 Friday evening, at 508 North 9th Street, with Atchison Police called to that location following the report of a man, armed with a gun, breaking into an apartment at that location. Once inside, it's alleged McCray took a woman he knew hostage, firing multiple shots upon responding law enforcement throughout the incident.

The standoff ended around 2:30 Saturday morning when McCray was shot and the woman rescued.

Numerous agencies assisted at the scene, including the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas Highway Patrol, and others.

The KBI is continuing to investigate.

No additional injuries are reported.
