Gunman Kills US Marshal, Wounds 2

A man opened fire on authorities trying to serve a warrant in West Virginia this morning, fatally wounding one deputy U.S. marshal and injuring two others before being shot dead by law enforcement officials, authorities said.

Several marshals went to the home in Elkins around 8:30 a.m. to serve a warrant for the arrest of Charles Smith, 50, who was wanted on drug charges, the U.S. Marshals Service said,

As the law enforcement officers entered the home, a man inside opened fire with a shotgun, hitting three marshals. The officers returned fire and hit Smith, who was dead on the scene, the Marshals Service said.

The wounded marshals, whose names were not immediately released, were all taken to hospitals. One died of his injuries, while a second was hospitalized but is expected to recover, the Marshals Service said. A third marshal was treated and released from the hospital.
