A Terre Haute Police Officer is dead after a shootout with a suspect Monday afternoon.

The Terre Haute Police Department was assisting the U.S. Marshal's Task Force in serving an arrest warrant for a probation violation at a residence in the 1800 block of North 8^th Street. State Police Sgt. Joe Watts says officers knocked on the door and several people came out except for the suspect.

"The suspect remained inside. Officers entered the residence and within just a few seconds, shots rang out against the officers from the suspect or the alleged shooter," Sgt. Watts says.

Officer Brent Long and his K-9 partner were both shot during the exchange. Officer Long and the suspect were both killed but it's unknown if the suspect was killed by police or from a self-inflicted wound. An autopsy will be performed to determine an exact cause of death.

Sgt. Watts says the K-9 was taken to a local veterinary clinic and is reportedly in good condition.

Long leaves behind a wife and two children.
