(Update) – The St. Joseph Police Department said the man taken to the hospital after a standoff Tuesday night is still receiving treatment.

Capt. Jeff Wilson said officers responded to a home on Faraon St. near 27th around 2 p.m. Tuesday for a domestic disturbance between a man and a woman. It was reported that the woman said her boyfriend threatened to harm her. She was standing outside of the home when officers arrived.

The man who has been identified as Emil Johnson, 36 reportedly threatened to harm the officers if they didn’t leave him alone. After learning Johnson had a felony warrant for his arrest from a prior case police closed off the area for several hours and assistance was called in from the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department and the Special Response Team.

Wilson confirms that four shots were believed to have been fired from Johnson inside the home. Around five hours after the standoff started Johnson was taken into police custody and transported to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Wilson said it was a serious injury.

Police used CS gas to draw the suspect out of the house.

Wilson said Wednesday morning Johnson was still in the hospital. Police said a mugshot could not yet be released due to computer issues at the station.
