DOWNS ? A 20-year-old man is recovering from gunshot wounds he suffered after a long standoff in north-central Kansas that began when he ran from a courthouse.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says 20-year-old Matthew D. Thille was shot Monday by law officers when he ran from his mother’s home in Downs after barricading himself inside for several hours. The KBI says he fired several shots before officers returned fire.

KBI Director Bob Blecha says investigators will present their findings to the prosecutor soon.

Before the standoff, Thille ran from the Jewell County District Court in Mankato after being told he would be jailed while awaiting sentencing on burglary and theft charges. He stole a car and drove to Downs.

The KBI says Thille is in good condition at a Wichita hospital.
