    Two men surrendered Thursday after a standoff involving numerous law enforcement officers in the 2800 block of S.W. Indian Hills Road.

    The men's names and ages weren't immediately being made public.

    No shots were fired and no one was hurt, said Shawnee County Sheriff Brian C. Hill.

    A Shawnee County sheriff's deputy late Thursday afternoon saw a man who was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant standing in the driveway of a home in the 2800 block of S.W. Indian Hills Road, Hill said.

    The deputy tried to make contact with the man, who immediately ran inside the house, he said.

    "Soon after, a second subject exited the residence with a firearm," Hill said. "He refused to comply with commands from law enforcement officers and then went back inside the residence."

    Numerous law enforcement officers from multiple agencies subsequently responded to the scene.

    Both men later came separately out of the house and were taken into custody.

    No formal charges had been filed.
