The man who allegedly shot a Reagan County (Texas) Sheriff's deputy and barricaded himself in his home was taken into custody Thursday, after SWAT officers entered the rear of the residence.
Deputy Josh Mitchell was fatally shot Wednesday night, after he arrived at the house near 11th and Main streets in Big Lake to talk to Marcus Madison. The 43-year-old Madison has a long criminal history, reports the San Angelo Standard Times.
Texas Rangers and officials from the Reagan County Sheriff's Office, Big Lake Police Department, Texas Highway Patrol, and Midland Police Department were among agencies involved in the response.
The line-of-duty death is the first for the agency, according to ODMP.

Rest in Peace, Deputy Mitchell, we'll take it from here. My prayers go out to the family, friends and the Reagan County Sheriff's Office who must try to understand this senseless tragedy. May God's peace comfort you at this time.

Almost everytime I come on this site I read about another fallen hero. Many of these stories don't make the national news and that is a shame. I hope Deputy Mitchells' family and friends get through this with the least amount of pain as possible.
