TEXARKANA, Texas (AP) — A man who police say opened fire on officers investigating after a traffic accident is dead, fatally shot by a Texas game warden. The incident happened about 1:30 yesterday afternoon on a side road near a federal prison on the southern outskirts of Texarkana, Texas.
Texas Parks and Wildlife spokesman Mike Cox says witnesses reported seeing the suspect driving erratically before he crashed. Game warden Shawn Hervey went to the scene to back up Bowie County sheriff’s deputies when they discovered the driver was armed. Cox says the man fired at the officers, and Hervey returned fire, killing the man.
