GREAT BEND — Law enforcement authorities in Barton County said attempted murder suspect Chris Solida is being held on a warrant from the District Court at Woodward, Okla., for attempted murder in the first degree.

Solida was arrested Friday night following a four-hour standoff in Great Bend. He is being held in the Barton County jail.

Authorities say Solida shot his wife in Oklahoma and brought his small children to Kansas. That prompted Friday’s standoff.

Solida’s bond is set on the Oklahoma warrant at $1 million.

Charges have also been filed in the Barton County District Court by the Great Bend Police Department.

The Kansas charges include aggravated child endangerment, aggravated criminal threat and criminal use of a firearm.

Bond on the local charges is set at $50,000.

Upon disposition of the local charges, Solida will be subject to an extradition hearing and returned to Oklahoma.
