ORIGINAL STORY
After an almost 10-hour standoff, one man is dead after U.S. Marshals attempted to serve a warrant.
The U.S. Marshals Office, supported by McLennan County SWAT, arrived in Mexia around 9 a.m. in to serve a search warrant at a house in the 700 block of Ross Avenue. Mexia police, firefighters and EMTs were also present.
Authorities barricaded streets leading to the home. Neighbors told 25 News they heard and saw the exchange of gunfire between the man and law enforcement. They deployed tear gas canisters, and began using a loudspeaker, urging the man to come out with his hands up.
Negotiations during the operation ended around 6 p.m. Texas Rangers continued to process the crime scene into the night time hours.
Mexia residents living in the area were given the all clear around 9 p.m. Police say there is no longer a threat to the public.
