Two Indiana deputies shot, one fatally, while serving warrants
Two sheriff's deputies in Indiana were shot, one of them fatally, while serving a warrant for drug-related offenses on Sunday, police said.
A suspect, who has not been identified, died in the incident, which took place in Russiaville in central Indiana, about 50 miles north of Indianapolis, they said.
Deputy Carl Koontz of the Howard County Sheriff's Department was killed in the incident, and Deputy Sergeant Jordan Buckley was wounded, Indiana State Police said. Buckley was in stable condition at a hospital.
The two were shot at after they knocked on the door of a residence to serve the warrant. They then returned fire.

(16,199 posts)7. The SWAT style raids are sometimes mistaken for home invasions.
It's one of the biggest criticisms of that raid style. Most are used on the War on Drugs.
