    8 shot, 3 dead. That's a stunning failure of procedure.
  • So 3 agents killed for a simple felon gun possession? They could have arrested him outside his home and avoided this right? What am I missing here?
  • if that hapend in California the criminals would be out of jail the next day.

    US Marshalls are considered elite law enforcement. Who didn't follow protocol here??

  • @ronaldlynch9935
    I have a question? Why didn't they just watch him until he left the house and went out for gas or fast food or to the store and walk up on him and arrest him why?
  • @catwoman2596
    Are y'all in competition to see who can talk faster? Ridiculous...
  • @tshaffer9681
    My deepest condolences to their families and friends. This is happening far to often. May they rest peacefully.
  • omg, my condolences to their families and the community that they served.
  • How could this guy shoot eight law enforcement officers? I mean - they knew the guy was armed, 'cuz that's what the warrant was about. I could understand how maybe the first officer was taken by surprise, couldn't react fast enough to get his weapon. Maybe even a second officer. But eight? This doesn't make sense.
