Officers from multiple agencies, including the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, were met with gunfire Friday morning when they tried to serve a warrant in the town of Talihina. The gunman was killed in the ensuing gunfight and an explosion destroyed his business/residence. Four troopers were injured by gunfire or by shrapnel. A fifth officer was shot and the bullet was stopped by body armor.
Law enforcement officials say officers from multiple agencies were involved in serving the warrant for a drug offense due to the man's criminal history and at the request of the Le Flore County Sheriff's Office.
