St. Louis (KSDK)-- A US Marshal and the man suspected of shooting him have both died from their wounds.
U.S. Marshals Service Office of Public Affairs spokesperson Jeff Carter released a statement just before 10:00 a.m., "One Deputy US Marshal from the Eastern District of Missouri involved in a shooting this morning at a residence in St. Louis has succumbed to his wounds and passed away at a local hospital. The deputy's name is not being released pending next-of-kin notification."
Two Deputy US Marshals and one St. Louis police officer working with the Marshals service were serving an arrest warrant when they were shot in the 3100 block of Osage around 7:00 a.m., according to Carter.
St. Louis police said the suspect was shot and died from his injuries, but have not released any further information about who he is or what happened.
The scene has been turned over to the FBI and they have taken over the investigation, which is standard in a situation such as this.
During the stand-off, the SWAT team went inside the home with their guns drawn. When they came out of the home, they were more relaxed, but details about what occurred have not been released.
edit to add: A deputy the US Marshal Service previously announced had died from his injuries is hospitalized in critical condition. It apologizes for the incorrect information.
