4 Oklahoma troopers injured, suspect dead after shooting, fire, authorities say

Four Oklahoma troopers trying to execute a warrant on Friday were injured after getting shot at and a fire broke out at a potentially “booby-trapped” house, authorities said.

The encounter in Talihina, Okla., began when state troopers were assisting local authorities in carrying out a drug-related warrant, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Capt. Paul Timmons said. He said they asked for help because the man had a “violent criminal history.”

But when they walked in, “they were met by gunfire,” according to Timmons, who also said the house caught fire as soon as they tried to serve the warrant.
