However, officers did not specifically say what Hornsby was being treated for or if he went to a nearby hospital for that care.No officer injuries were reported as a result of the standoff. Additionally, despite’s Hornsby’s brandishing of a handgun, police say that no gunshots were fired by anyone during the incident.Hornsby’s wife reportedly managed to escape from the residence shortly after officers arrived on scene.The Kenton County Police Department says that they have been called out to the address in the past for prior disturbances, but did not elaborate further.Hornsby is expected to be charged with wanton endangerment, unlawful imprisonment, and assault.Kenton County Police say that they were assisted at the scene by Kenton County Regional SWAT, the Taylor Mill Police Department, the Covington Police Department, the Taylor Mill Fire Department, the Ryland Heights Fire Department, UC AirCare, and MedEvac throughout the course of the standoff.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
