*Armed Mental Health Crisis at Holy Rosary Cemetery*

At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, the Warrenton Police Department responded to Holy Rosary Cemetery after receiving a report of a suicidal subject who was armed with a .38 caliber revolver.

Officers from the Warrenton Police Department arrived on scene and requested the assistance of Wright City Police Department, Warren County Sheriff's Department, Truesdale Police Department, and Missouri State Highway Patrol.

For approximately five hours, officers from Warrenton Police Department, Wright City Police Department, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol negotiated with the subject in an effort to resolve the situation peacefully. The Missouri State Highway Patrol ultimately deployed a Taser, allowing officers to safely take the individual into custody without injury.

The subject was transported to a mental health facility where they will receive further evaluation and appropriate care.

The Warrenton Police Department would like to thank the Wright City Police Department, Warren County Sheriff's Department, Truesdale Police Department, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol for their assistance throughout the incident. Incidents involving individuals in crisis require patience, sound judgment, and coordination, and we're grateful for the support of our partner agencies in bringing the situation to a safe conclusion.

Calls involving individuals in mental health crisis are among the most unpredictable and potentially dangerous situations law enforcement officers encounter. Every Warrenton Police Department officer is Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) trained, providing them with specialized training to recognize and respond to these incidents, de-escalate situations when possible, and make sound decisions under rapidly changing circumstances.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Trained counselors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide free and confidential support.
