MARION COUNTY — A man was booked into the Marion County Jail on Wednesday due to his alleged involvement in an officer-involved shooting in June. According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and our news partner KETK, the shooting occurred on June 24 in the 2700 block of Highway 49. Once deputies arrived on the scene, a man who was later identified as Robert Landrum discharged a rifle, allegedly striking a deputy’s patrol unit.
As additional deputies arrived on the scene, Landrum allegedly refused to disarm and was shot by law enforcement after pointing his gun towards deputies, the sheriff’s office said. Landrum was then taken into custody and flown to a hospital in Shreveport. After being released from the hospital, Landrum was booked into the Marion County Jail on Thursday and charged with aggravated assault against a public servant.
The Texas Rangers have launched an investigation and the sheriff’s office said no additional information will be released at this time.
