A Deputy U.S. Marshal was fatally shot Monday in Alexandria, Louisiana, while officers tried to serve an arrest warrant on a wanted fugitive in the Rutland Road area.
Around 3 p.m., members of the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force and Rapides Parish detectives were conducting the operation when an officer-involved shooting erupted.
